“Where’s a free cab when you need one?”

I caught the above scene while touring the backstreets in the Central District in Hong Kong. I am not entirely sure why this particular street is full of the trademark red-and-white Hong Kong cabs; perhaps they are all queuing up to catch a fare someplace nearby. I thought initially that the long line of taxis along with the dramatic lighting made an interesting picture already, until this man pushing his cart of goods came coming down the slope. To me, it seemed as if he was unhappy that he was unable to find a cab willing to take him (although I think he wasn’t actually looking for a ride in the first place!).
