The endless movement through the city remained on my last few nights. I had ruined much of the trip with my anxiety at this point and it was too late to reclaim any meaningful time. Still, I could look out of the window, again pressed against the glass.
* I promised Michael I'd use this phrase as a title. We had a great laugh repeating that one.

Walking in Hong Kong is fun! One afternoon I strolled along the shoreline in Whampoa near our hotel and ended up at Laguna Verde, an upscale housing estate in Hung Hom, consisting of 25 residential high rises.

Mist builds on Victoria Harbour, Hong Kong and settles between the skyscrapers and buildings of Kowloon creating this ethereal atmosphere.
Walking in Hong Kong is fun. While strolling in Hung Hom, located in Kowloon on the mainland part of Hong Kong, I stumbled upon this street market butcher. Here is what they are selling. Are you ready? Goose, duck feet, chicken wings, pork belly, char siu (Chinese BBQ pork).

Lost and Found
Artwork Title:
Lost and Found
Artist Name:
Jaffa Lam (Hong Kong)
Artwork Location:
Hung Hom
Artist's Concept:
“Lost and Found” is a multiple-part work that weaves through an imaginative journey at Hung Hom Station.
At the platform, a series of ossified luggage, in a variety of styles commonly used in different eras, stand as a timeline at the historical terminal for cross-border transit. Moving on, passengers run into maze-like patterns flanking the escalators. The images are in fact the archetypal nylon canvas bags. What can possibly be found in these bags and cases? What have they lost?
Next to seating, lost properties, cast in recycled aluminium from scrap ships and vehicles, await to be found at the station: a crumpled handkerchief, an empty bottle, a tattered cap… look forward to a reunion with an armless watch and a lost shoe of a child.
“Let memory stay, and don’t get lost—here and now,” says the artist.
Jockey Club Innovation Tower is a building of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. It was designed by Pritzker-prize-winning architect Zaha Hadid. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Innovation_Tower)
The Jockey Club Innovation Tower is home to Hong Kong Polytechnic University 's School of Design and is the new driving force in the development of Hong Kong as a design hub in Asia… It has 15,000 square metres of net floor area and can accommodate about 1,800 staff and students… “The fluid character of the Innovation Tower is generated through an intrinsic composition of its landscape, floor plates and louvers that dissolves the classic typology of the tower and the podium into an iconic seamless piece. These fluid internal and external courtyards create new public spaces of an intimate scale which complement the large open exhibition forums and outdoor recreational facilities to promote a diversity of civic spaces.” - Zaha Hadid, Architect, Innovation Tower (www.sd.polyu.edu.hk/en/j.c.-innovation-tower/the-architec...)

One of MTR's EMD G16 diesels brings a Kowloon Through Train (KTT) consist into Hung Hom, Hong Kong station in preparation for the first northbound run of the day. The KTT typically operated with an ABB Lok2000 electric locomotive on each end of the passenger consist, allowing for a quick turnaround at each end of the run (Hung Hom and Guangzhou East). On days when one unit was down for maintenance, a diesel would be added for the quick early morning deadhead move from the Fo Tan maintenance depot into Hung Hom station. This offered an opportunity to see one of MTR's diesels handling a passenger consist in their later years of service. Change is constant in Hong Kong. The KTT stopping running in 2020 during the pandemic and has since been overshadowed by the high-speed Express Rail Link service to the mainland.

Architect is a designer who manages space. Similarly I think a photographer does same job although photographer manages space in the two-dimensional frame.
During my trip to Hong Kong, I visited the award winningJockey Club Innovation Tower in Hong Kong Polytechnic University designed by architect Zaha Hadid.
She created all the lines and open space in this building for the faculty staff, students and even visitors. Imagine Hong Kong being one of the places with highest housing price in the world, we will understand that this open space requires such great investment and courage in the innovative design in order to make it happen. And it will definitely ask for your second look.

Hong Kong has one of the highest population densities in the world and a very small metro network, which means that it gets incredibly busy but trains are frequent and clean!
One my memories of the HK metro system from my last visit is that the trains seemed to go on forever, I tried taking a photo looking straight down train but didn’t do a very good job… it turned out blurred and not very well composed but that was back in 2008 and I’d only just got my camera.
On boxing day I was up and about very early to go out and shoot a sunrise (picture coming soon ☺) and I hadn’t really planned on trying to get an empty train but that’s what I got on the way to my location, I was also lucky enough to be on the end carriage so I could get a view down the whole train… it didn’t stay empty for long though… maybe about 20 seconds.
I know that a lot of people don’t like selective colour, and I’m one of them but if it’s used sparingly I think that it can work well… I was at a loss as to how to process this picture, I wanted to show the depth but in the colour there are way too many distractions
Have a great weekend all
