Junk at Sunset

Junk at Sunset

When I was a kid living in Hong Kong, you NEVER saw a junk in Victoria Harbour with its sails up. You just didn't. They were on the postcards, sure, but you never saw them in reality. Now they're such a symbol of Hong Kong they run tourist dinner cruises on them. This one posed perfectly for me in front of the skyline at sunset. It doesn't seem as magical (or legendary) as when I was a kid, but I guess that's what growin' up does to you. Still, it's as typical as a Hong Kong photo could ever be.
