Thanks Rob for your kind "welcome back" note - happy to hear that you liked this rather moody shot at dusk from the peak, one of my favorite places in Hong Kong, particularly to see the sunset and how the millions of city lights emerge as the night settles in.

Great introductory series, Joe. Thanks for sharing the history and your personal Hong Kong story. Looking forward to your future posts. Loved the building compositions, especially for the perspectives and use of reflection.

Welcome back, Joe. I am looking forward to this series. Already interesting to see the contrast in the old and new architecture. Have good day - going to be snowy and cold here.

Thank you Joe, glad you enjoyed the history and our story. Hong Kong is a bit of a magic land for us and on this particular trip we actually spent quite a bit of time out of the center, exploring different parts of their "hinterland", the New Territories and I hope you will enjoy this upcoming, partly very different take on Hong Kong.

Thank you Rowedean for staying on the tour and your kind words. As I mentioned to Joe above, I will present various takes from very different parts of Hong Kong, some of the usual, exciting parts and some rather unusual locations out in their "New Territories" where we spent quite some time on this particular trip. Today's set, which I just posted, brings us into a whimsical world of tropical plants that will offset your snowy and cold environment you experience today!
