Goldfish

Goldfish

There is, in Mong Kok, a goldfish market. In this market they sell...well...you guessed it...goldfish. Several of the shops have tanks full of multiple different kinds of goldfish, and most have racks filled with pre-bagged fish. This is one such rack. I rather like this picture.

Room with a view

Room with a view

This was the view from our first hotel room in Hong Kong. The outer walls provide quite a nice framing effect, and I've not tweaked the colour - it was very hazy and the window adds a touch of a brown filter. Anyway, this is what we woke up to every morning - and the views of the light show every night were nothing short of stunning.

Pleasant Palace

Pleasant Palace

This is perhaps the quintessential sign (pun intended) of Hong Kong. Neon stacked upon neon, in English and Cantonese, with major international chains right along side local specialities. I saw this as we were walking up to the Temple Street Night Market, just as we were waiting to cross the road. It's one of my favourites from the trip.

The Hong Kong-Kowloon X-Ray Service

The Hong Kong-Kowloon X-Ray Service

Simple little shot, looking up at some of the older apartments/offices above Nathan Road, hiding above the shiny neon. Some have old signs on them - who knows, maybe they're still in use - but I like this one. I like that there's an ivory factory and an x-ray service in the same building. Convenient!

Hong Kong at Night

Hong Kong at Night

Yes, yes, I know, I said it'd only be a couple of weeks, but I was wrong. Work's been mad-busy since we got back from the holiday so I've not had the chance to post anything. So, here we go. This shot was taken from a bar/restaurant called Aqua, located on the 29th Floor of One Peking Road in Kowloon. The view of Hong Kong is exceptional, and a good introduction to the next batch of pictures. Thanks for being patient...!
