When you think of Hong Kong and its iconic buildings, this view is not what first comes to mind; however, this is also a reality by the river. I took these photos while on a ferry, marveling at the two realities of very different skylines from this unique perspective.

For Dan’s Thursday Doors.
On the crossroad…in Hong Kong.
Crossroads are places where roads intersect and people have to make decisions. They can also be metaphors for important moments in life, where one has to choose between different options and face the consequences.
Crossroads are the tests of fate , where we must choose our path and wait, for the unknown to reveal itself and show us if we chose well or not.
Some crossroads are clear and easy, others are dark and messy . But all of them are part of our journey and shape us into who we are meant to be
Posted for Cee’s Which Way Challenge
Editing Black and White images is fun, I have a limited amount of photos of public transportation’s but I did find few for CB&W theme this week.
Trams seem to be my favorite public transportation to photograph. So there are trams from Helsinki, San Francisco, Melbourne. Buses and metro from Hong Kong. Ferry from Sydney and Hong Kong. Last but not least a train from Melbourne. I did actually find several as I started to look through my archives. Happy travels in public transportation.
For this weeks CB&W challenge I am revisiting my Hong Kong photos from December. There are lots of lines in the building s over there
I will be posting more photos from my trip when I am over the euphoria of spring. But at the moment I will leave this topic for the next rainy day.
I am trying to get my photos from January posted, so I can get to my current photos. I actually have some new ones, not many, but few. This post has photos from the skyline of Hong Kong, buildings. I most likely will later post some of them again by themselves, but the elimination process is hard.
I did take some photos from our first meal, so I might as well share them. How did I do with a subject not so explored by me.
And couple BW shots
It was in December that I visited Hong Kong and only now I went throught the photos, so they are new in that sense. I have been in a slump as I’ve stated before, now I am on the way up. My aim was to post the photos in a time line, but no, I will post them as I feel like. I will go back to my minimalist approach, few words and hopefully the picture will deliver what I want to convey; The world as I see it.
These are first impressions of the city after our arrival in the evening.
My feet are killing me. We have used the tram, ferry, underground and a taxi and walked around the city. All photos with the mobile phone.
Long long day and a sleepless flight, but here we are landed in Hong Kong.
