Comparing to my last visit three years ago, the koi in the Janyu Lake in Zhongshan Park, Shantou, China, has flourished to a great extent. I might have been to this park at the age of five. The two visits within the last three years brought back a number of memories of my childhood. This is an interesting image that I captured recently from the Lakeside pavilion in the park.
The slum of a city has to be demolished in order to redevelop the area. Such an urban renewal in the old town of Shantou, China, provided me with a good subject for photography. I like the contrast of the slum against the backdrop of the newly built highrise building. By no time, such a scene will disappear gradually with the progress of urban renewal.
To me, a dramatic sky after the sunset is hard to come by. I was fortunate to capture the image from the window of the hotel room. It was amazing to see the brighten up sky with the lighting from the buildings. Once again, I captured this particular image with camera handheld. This is an image that I captured during my stay in Shantou, China.
