Pretty umbrellas sor sale at the night market in Hong Kong.
Tian Tan Buddha at Po Lin Monastery on Lantau Island off the Hong Kong Airport, is an imposing sight. This 85 feet bronze statue is the world’s tallest outdoor seated bronze Buddha. In its presence, one is dwarfed not just in stature, but in true understanding and perception of life and universe.

This is a selective color job I tried on an urban shot of Hong Kong while I was there last October 2006. I hope it is pleasing to your eye.
Hong Kong Children are taught the value of family and are raised by maids; / Are taught not to waste a grain of rice, and communities are built on landfill. / Spectacular views when they can be seen / For the human-made clouds in which eagles wheel.
The hazy morning light through the humid Hong Kong air warmed and illuminated these Flamingos in Kowloon Park. / / While photographing these magnificent birds I was able to observe some of their social behavior. While they may look like graceful creatures they have definite social standings and spend a lot of their time squabbling amongst themselves over nothing. Pretty much like people really.
The International Finance Center in Hong Kong. From a refreshing point of view. The tallest buliding in Hong Kong, for now. - – - / I only manage to take 2 shots of this before security said something to me in Cantonese and booted me off the lobby. / / MORE WORKS FROM MY PORTFOLIO /

The Tian Tan Buddha appears serene and dignified. His right hand is raised, representing the removal of affliction. His left hand rests on his lap in a gesture of giving (dhana). The Buddha faces north which is unique among the great Buddha statues. (All others face South.) I’m not a very religious person, but I need to know where my religious background stands in my family. This place was definitely the eye opener. How do they even carry all the 250 tonne bronze to make a 34 metre high statue up there?! A remarkable achievement.

For anyone who was wondering, this was what Hong Kong looked like yesterday, however I cannot guarantee it will look like this tomorrow.
Colourwonderful! Mongkok is your one stop shop to anything from $AUD2 torchlights to $AUD5000 Canon EOS 1D Mk IIIs. It’s also your one stop destination to all Asian cuisines from the authentic Hong Kong-style Dim Sum right to Pizza Hut pizzas ($AUD25 each!) Hong Kong-style! I wished I took this shot from dead centre. And this was only half the street! I’d still think its impossible to take a shot from one end to the other though, even if you tried. Captured on 1 January 2008, Mongkok, Kowloon. Hong Kong, China.
I just came back from a last minute two week business trip to Hong Kong. Only had a few chances to take the camera out and usually only at night. This is the first weeks effort.

This is some sort of building. With lights. I did something with both the exposure and the aperture, but I forget what. No after processing, oh, except a crop.
Read the last description. I’m not in a cut and paste mood.

Cave pearls, or oolites, grow in shallow pools like pearls in an oyster. Successive thin layers of calcite coat tiny seed grains. This collection is 5 kilometres inside a cave in Pang Mapha district of Mae Hong Son province, Thailand. Inside the cave, these rare wonders of nature are priceless, but if they are stolen by insensitive or greedy humans, they become worthless balls of stone. These oolites are particularly well formed and precious. Taken on kodachrome slide film, Nikon FM2, nikkor 55mm lens, tripod and flashes.
This grasshopper held its leaf, and I backed off. It had one of those ‘don’t mess with me’ looks. Taken in my magical garden in the mountains of Mae Hong Son province, Thailand.
Most smokers die prematurely but his Lua woman has defied the odds. I guess she was over 100. Her pipe full of rough homegrown tobacco was a constant fixture. Her weathered skin tells of a long life of hard work under a tropical sun, growing rice to feed her family. The Lua are a forgotten ethnic group. The original settlers of northern and western Thailand, the Lua share common origins with many other Mon-Khmer speaking groups who have lived since the stone age in every country from Vietnam to India. Assimilated and dominated by the Thais who arrived from the north about a millennium ago, the Lua have managed to maintain only a handful of small traditional communities in southern Mae Hong Son province, but the last of the Lua are fading fast. Taken in a remote village in the early 1980s on kodachrome slide film.
