Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and A Happy 2005 ahead! (Will be working on Christmas Day myself… hope that my call will not be too busy!)

Hong Kong is world-reknowned for its night scenery, especially when caught from Victoria Peak. This view was taken from The Peak Tower. A sign there proclaimed that tripod photography was disallowed unless a valid permit was obtained. However, there were so many tourists there disregarding the order and using tripods for their photography that I eventually used mine too, without a permit! The security guard up there hardly bat an eyelid :p

Apologies for the recent lack of updates to the photoblog as I have been overseas on vacation in Hong Kong… Expect to see some new pictures that I took during my trip!

The above picture was taken at the Avenue Of Stars located at the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront. “A Symphony of Lights” is a multi-media light and sound show that runs daily at 8pm, showcasing the key buildings along the waterfront of the Victoria Harbour. Ideally, the picture should have been taken during dusk hours to achieve a brilliant, deep blue in the skies. However, since the sun sets early before 6pm in the winter season, I had to make do with darker skies. I love the patterns cast by the brilliant search beams and lasers fired from atop the buildings.
