Persongalleriet #718: Hong Kong, Tuesday
March 21st, 2017.
This was my bonus day! It started with me getting up early, at 5:20 a.m. and going out to the airport. Only to find out that my flight was delayed by 24 hours. Some practicalities and four hours later, I checked into my third HK hotel in as many weeks, in Tsim Sha Tsui. Couldn't have the room for another 5 hours, so naturally I went out streeting! It was a bright, sunny day with blue skies after all!
After a ferry trip to Hong Kong Island and some walking I found myself at the bottom of the Central-Mid-Levels escalator. Of course, I decided to go all the way up! This offered some opportunities for some different photographic perspectives.
Up there, I found mostly posh, residential high-rises and found a cab to get me down to sea level again. I took a walk from Central west towards Sheung Wan.

Be well, everybody!

Persongalleriet #717: Hong Kong, Monday
March 20th, 2017.
The plan was to meet with my new found friend, Chan Chun Ming, at 1 p.m. This gave me some time for a morning walk as well. The sun was out properly, with a clear blue sky! For the first time on this three week trip! I walked the shopping streets of Tsim Sha Tsui with fresh inspiration, looking for patterns created by sun and shadow. And also just reacting to what I found out there.
I took time for a quick lunch and some rest before meeting Chan in the lobby of my hotel. He took me on a well planned tour of some very interesting Kowloon neighborhoods, with a focus on different market streets. From tourist markets to a wholesale fruit market. But first, the subway to get there!
Here's Chan!

Chan walked me back to my hotel where we wrapped it up at around 7 p.m.
A great day for me with a good eight hours on the streets! Thanks again Chan, for showing me Hong Kong!
Be well, everybody!
