Chasing After the Sunset 黃金追落日

Car

From the New Territorries

Leaves Sheung Shui in the north, 

And passes through tunnels of all

Finally comes out of the Kowloon Door.

Driving along Castle Peak Road is the highway corridor

We run towards the west to Golden Beach, least of all!

Highway

Meandering from Yuen Long;

Cars on queue extend many miles long.
In sunset, wayward boats sail along.

Lamp posts on roadside

Move backward as if they've gone;

Railings by the shore

Retreat on and on.

Bridges

connect the islands of Tsing Yi and Ma Wan in a line.
High above in heaven 

An airplane flies

Through the charming clouds in the sky.

Pulling over on the shoulder for a while

We shoot beautiful scenes rarely seen in our life.

Sun

Appears at the end of the road

and casts the golden gleam of the glow.

In the dusk

the beautiful dark red clouds grow.

To stop the flying time of the white steed

We chase after the setting sun on the road

To get reminiscence pleasant to behold!

(Most of the photos of this album were taken from a running vehicle)

Thanks for my friend Simeon to give me a ride.

=================================

汽車... 從新界北

駛出上水 穿過隧道

鑽出九龍 沿青山路

飛馳西走 黃金海岸

公路... 蜿蜒漫長

元朗車龍 夕陽歸帆

路旁燈柱 急速後跑

岸邊圍欄 趕往後退

大橋... 連著青衣

緊接馬灣 萬里長空

鐵鳥高飛 衝上雲霄

停車片刻 拍下美景

日曘... 路的盡頭

散發金光 夕陽黃昏

殷紅彩霞 抓住白駒

匆匆追日 留著回憶

(大部份照片在行駛中的汽車中拍攝)
感謝好友 Simeon 為我充當司機

交通燈的紅、黃、綠，有警惕駕駛的作用。自然界的紅、黃、綠，卻將世界濃粧艷抹，引人入勝。

行車中，將太陽上下一分為二，並非容易，是巧合和運氣的結合，要成功，便要多拍丶多嘗試。

欄杆燈柱雖然各在其位，在不同的位置，在上的、在下的、密集的、疏落的，同樣都分享到霞光賦予的色彩。
