《Young and pretty girls》
In Hong Kong, I like to hang around and take pictures of city and country landscapes. My old college classmates and friends are interested in learning portrait photography. This day we have invited two young girls as our models, taking portraiture at the Chi Lin Nunnery. 

Artistic pattern in Chi Lin Nunnery 志蓮淨苑的美與藝

Chi Lin Nunnery is tranquil. Anyone staying inside the nunnery will have a feeling of comfortable and relaxing ambience. The whole architectural structure built on the prototype of temple in Tang Dynasty is so grant and elegant that makes one dazzled and stunned. Every part of the building is an artistic creation, a display of beautiful arts.

Chi Lin Nunnery 志蓮淨苑

As part of my childhood was spent in Diamond Hill, I was quite familiar with Chi Lin Nunnery there. That was a small temple established in 1932. I used to walk by this temple in those days and now I still remember the Chi Lin Primary School located beside the main gate. In retrospect, this is already many years ago! I left Hong Kong to settle in Toronto in 1988. In 2009, I came back and paid the first visit to Chi Lin with a special feeling.
