大霧山之貌 View from Tai Mo Shan

On 9 December 2011, I visited Tai Mo San (lit. Foggy Mountain) in Hong Kong.  It was a sunny and windy afternoon with temperature at 8C.  Over there the range of mountains looked beautiful in the blue sky.  The town of Tsuen Wan was seen afar and the Tsing Ma Bridge appeared in vague distant behind the mountains. 

鹽田梓之旅 A Trip to Yim Tin Tsai Village

By the tree I watch closely the saltpan,
Up on the hill I look over Kau Sai Wan.
In the breeze slender reeds dance gently,
Across the sea scenic hills look misty.

Recently, I watched a TV documentary in Toronto about Yim Tin Tsai Village.  It is an old village of Hakka dialect, built in more than 200 years on an island near the town of Sai Kung, Hong Kong.

從一張照片想起… Memories from a Photo…

【Behind the Image】
On Dec 21, 2011, I had a mountain hike and arrived Our Lady of Joy Abbey on Lantao Island in Hong Kong.  At the entrance was a long bridge with dense of plants growth.  The ground was marked with "1960" .  It was already more than 50 years.

車窗外望 Looking Thro the Bus Window

On Dec 03, 2011, I was in Hong Kong, taking bus route #40 to Tsuen Wan.  I loved to sit in the front of the upper deck to capture the street scene with my camera.  This time, I made use of the window frame of the bus for photo composition to create a peculiar effect.  The location of each photo was displayed in the map on the right of Picasa.  The map effect would be much better by choosing "Satellite" . 

午後細雨 A Rainy Afternoon

Joy of Photography in a rainy day:  Today is December 12, 2012, a cold and a rainy afternoon.  Temperature is 2 degree C.   I try to capture the changing shape of the rain drops.  This time, I use Lumix G10 Micro 3/4 body with 14-42mm kit lens.  The camera is very compact and is used to test its function.  Picasa is good to display detail information of the photo taken.
