Hong Kong skyline by night

This shot was taken a few years back during our trip to China. Hong Kong is a great city. I’m not much of a city fan, but there is something magic about Hong Kong and I tried to bring home a little of that magic.

    The light bouncing back from the low overhanging clouds does indeed create a special atmosphere, doesn’t it? Thanks for commenting.

    Terrific shot Peter…love the angle and shine of the buildings.

  • Peter Zentjens replied

    Thanks heaps Matt. The light radiating from most buildings is quite something there in HK. We dined once, high up, in a rotating restaurant. Great experience. Can’t remember it’s name of the top of my head.

    Oh Peter, this is fantastic work. There is something so futuristic and mysterious about this capture. I almost expect some sort of brightly glowing spaceship to break through the clouds and land in amongst these skyscrapers. Incredible image :-)

  • Peter Zentjens replied

    A spaceship? Well, I guess just about anything can happen in Hong Kong. ;)
    Thanks for your enthusiastic comment.

    This brings back the memories of my short trip to Hongkong, Shanghai en Beijing. You’ve caught the light pollution, judging the very ‘bright’ sky and the time of day…

  • Peter Zentjens replied

    Yes, that’s what it is, but it makes for good photography opportunities though. :)
    Cheers Peter

  • Kevin Bergen

    Kevin Bergen

    Very nice capture, Peter! I was in Hong Kong in ‘84, and I felt the magic then. You’ve done a wonderful job with this image in its coloring and composition.

  • Peter Zentjens replied

    Thank you Kevin. It sure is a fantastic city, and I usually don’t even like cities. :)
