The other day I managed to find some time for a few shots.
This is a nunnery in Hong Kong.

Event empty sections have some beauty if you look hard enough.

    Neat!

    I really like the first and third shots. And I especially like peeking at a part of the world I know next to nothing about.

    No. 3 is my favorite, too. No. 1 is good also, but it's too bad there isn't a little color in the sky. I like the tall buildings in the background -- gives you a feel for the old and new. This might be good in b&w -- one way of making an end run around the white sky. :D
    Lord, keep my words sweet. Someday, I may have to eat them.

    I've been in Hong Kong for 10 years and I still feel that I know nothing about it.

    It is very typical of Hong Kong. Sometimes it is hard to get a shot without the new. I know what you mean about the sky. It makes me miss New Zealand.
    I am not a big fan of B&W (I guess I have not had much success with conversion). I might give it a go.
