Hong Kong




Still a great place to visit, even the fourth time around.

I made a conscious effort not to bring the big camera around, so I could just soak things in (and only because it wasn't my first time there; the shutterbug in me would've freaked out otherwise). 

Thank heaven for phones with cameras.


Sunset at Victoria Peak, along a road that reminded me of Europe somehow.
Slowly becoming one of my favorite skylines.

A small alley off Granville Road that I turned into
while waiting for the veteran shoppers.
Ships and peaks and shimmering waters. Victoria Peak.
Homeless person. Pedder Street, Central.

I wasn't sure about that last picture. We passed her (him? I don't know) several times. And then on our way home, waiting to cross the street, I saw her again. There was nobody in front of us, there were no cars driving by; there was a young man under the HSBC sign, playing his violin for money...and in my head I thought, "I must remember this. In the midst of all this wealth I must remember this." So I took the picture.
