I recently went to Hong Kong (http://flic.kr/s/aHsjuw73Tk). I'm still going through my photo's but here are a few. You can click on the photo's to see larger versions.


[#1] This was early morning at the Hong Kong airport. The fog was diffusing the early morning light with the mountains emerging in the background.

[#2] It was generally very foggy and grey in Hong Kong everyday. We took the tram the top of Victoria's Peak and got a great view of the city.

[#3] This is a view from the first hotel I stayed. I had just a peek of the harbor. The early morning light was pretty when it was shining.

[#4] I loved going to all the various markets all over the city. This was one that sold lots of fruits and vegetables. I loved this sweet little lady.

[#5] The meat market was very interesting. Talk about fresh...

[#6] This is inside one of the many temples. I loved the light surrounding these large incenses.

[#7] This was the view outside my second hotel I stayed. It was gorgeous but again it was grey and foggy. Nonetheless, I loved the feeling.

Hope you enjoy. I'll post more as I go through them.
Thanks!

    I wanna go to HK again. Last time I was there I didn't do much cause I was sick.

    Nice vantage points, but the colors in #2 and #3 are odd. Too much yellow I think.

    #7 looks like it has a lot of potential, but I think you overdid the processing.

    Regardless of the processing that you did on some of the photos, I really enjoyed looking at this set. You did a lot of interesting shots and you played well with your perspectives. You captured Hong Kong very well. I especially love the vintage-y feel of the last image.

    I still love H.K.
    I enjoyed Hong Kong a bit more when it belonged to the British but, I still love the place. My most recent trip was in April 2010. Weather did not cooperate with me for a good shot of H.K. Harbor from Victoria Peak but, all in all; I enjoyed myself greatly. It is interesting to note that H.K. and Mainland China have two very different economies. A cleaner in a Hong Kong hospital earns as much as a doctor in a mainland hospital. At least I was told this by our guide who was quite proud of the differences between H.K. and the mainland...

    Here are some images in and around Aberdeen Harbor and the Jumbo Floating Restaurant...
