Hong Kong - Living It Loving It

2007.05.27
Bank Of China (new) tower in the middle

My first HDR with Photomatix


Victoria Harbour is one of the busiest in the world

Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, Wan Chai





International Finance Centre 2 (IFC2)


The famous Star Ferry...been here since 1888

Nora (nora75) and Dima (openbelarus) have invited everybody to play a game. The game is to select a theme for every Monday and ask others to post their pictures using the selected theme.
This week it is "loveliest part of your city".

Hong Kong as a city is fast, energetic and beautiful. What I love about it cannot be covered by this theme. If the theme were "your city" or "my city", I would cover the beautiful country parks, hills, islands, beaches, seafood, streetfood, nightlife, shopper crowds, etc...but if I were to pick just one lovely part, it would be the HK waterfront with its spectacular skyline. Here are some shots that will give you an idea of how beautiful it is...
My only regret is not having captured the laser show in the evenings. Buildings on both sides of the harbour participate in it and it is quite special.
Every year we have a few occasions when millions of dollars are burnt in fireworks that are spectacular to watch but are too smokey. What a waste of money!!
All tourists are advised to take the HK$2.2 ride across the Victoria harbour in the Star Ferry from Wan Chai or Central on Hong Kong side to Tsim Sha Tsui (TST, Kowloon) and back! It's worth spending hours viewing, capturing or talking about! :-)

If you are coming over, let me know and I will tell you what you should not miss during your stay. :-)

Regards
