Up on the roof
Chinese roof tiles of the green-glazed variety. Every time I see these tiles, of which there are many out here, they remind me of Michael Palin's 'Around the World in 80 Days' adventure in which he was challenged by Terry Gilliam to return with such an item as proof of distant travel. This he did, prising a tile from the roof of a rundown railway building in China. The tiles shown in this photo however, currently keep Hong Kong's Lung Mo Temple weatherproof and removal for whatever reason is unlikely to be appreciated !
