Sunset on great bridge 大橋落日

《Sunset on great bridge》
On the second day of my arrival to Hong Kong, I captured the setting sun over the great bridge in Tsuen Wan.

Tsuen Wan Sam Tung Uk Village 荃灣三棟屋

In the sun tree shadows reflected
On the land high-rises erected
Roof ridge white and the wall is bright
Root top grey and the eaves-tiles laid
A new look behind the ancient door
The sky looked half through the rafts
In the front the half sky looked blue
Beside me the eaves moss is green
To the blue sky glazed eaves fly
And the painted wall goes high
                                    --------- My impression of Sam Tung Uk

Looking High Above in Tsuen Wan 高瞻遠看荃灣市

My last visit to Tsuen Wan, Hong Kong was back to the 1980s, just before my emigration to Toronto.  It was already 30 odd years.  Tsuen Wan had been undergoing development since 1970s.  Wide-scale reclamation and development of the public and private residential estates were done and eventually changed Tsuen Wan to a busy traffic hub and new satellite city.  On 3 December 2011, I visited this city again but felt that it was full of high-rises.  As time had brought great changes, I could barely recognize the city after more than 30 years.  While in the midst of a busy city, I could find something peculiar with special feeling observing high above in Tsuen Wan city.  All these were recorded in this album.
