PHOTOS

Here is a random sample of my photos. Visit my galleries for many more.


<p>The facade of the Ming Fung Building on Wan Chai Road reveals a few residents still up, burning the midnight oil. <br /></p>
<p>During the Covid-19 lockdown of 2020, display cases outside the Kino International promise that film screenings are 'to be continued'.<br /></p>
<p>A gang of miniature Beethovens wait to be placed in formation by a worker. Part of Bonn's commemoration of the 250th anniversary of its famous son's birth, the Beethoven statues were later put up for 'adoption'. I like mine very much. </p>
<p>A miniature forest grows in a tree stump that resembles the jutting peaks of the Dolomites, where this photo was taken.<br /></p>
<p>Better known for its soaring skyline and manic lifestyle, Hong Kong also retains aspects of its pre-colonial Chinese tradition, particularly in the New Territories connected to the mainland. This courtyard home called Tai Fu Tai dates from 1865, not long after the British had seized Hong Kong Island but before they leased the New Territories from China. It is an outstanding example of 19th Century Chinese architecture. <br /></p>
