The view - part of the view, off to the right - is of Back Bay, as it's called. It is separated from Yellowknife Bay (which goes into Great Slave Lake) at the one end by a causeway that joins Old Town and Latham Island; at the other it is simply part of Yellowknife Bay. In the far far far distance a row of powerlines (ubiquitous marks of human civilization) marches over the horizon.  From my balcony I can see float planes and sailboats; and sometimes I can watch seagulls from the top rather than from the bottom!
