Taken on vacation trips

City Of Lights


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

At Work (On The Bank Of China)


People at work are favourite photographic subjects for me. In fact, I have got a series of pictures titled “At Work” among the many that I have took since I embarked on digital photography. Hence, I was glad to have the opportunity to add another “At Work” piece to my collection when I first arrived in Hong Kong for vacation just a few days past. On our way to the Peak Tram station on Hong Kong Island, we came across these workmen on gondolas cleaning up the Bank Of China building in the Central District. I was attracted by the clean, simple lines of the composition and took this shot.
