Jockey Club Innovation Tower in the campus of Hong Kong Polytechnic University is the award winning design by architect Zaha Hadid. This is another interior shot of the building. I visited the place during my trip to Hong Kong.
Doing well is different from doing good. Taking pictures well is different from taking good pictures? Do well as well as do good!
Happy weekend!

KCR 60, named "Peter Quick" per the red plate above the front truck, rolls through Hung Hom Yard between switching duties. In a little over a year the Kowloon-Canton Railway would become a "fallen flag". The railway, which had been in existence in one form or another since 1910, was merged into the MTR Corporation, operator of Hong Kong's mass transit railway network. MTR's fleet of former KCR EMDs would continue on, wearing the same livery with an MTR logo applied over the KCR logo, through June of 2010 when all rail freight service in Hong Kong was suspended. They could later be found in maintenance of way service through 2021 and may now face an uncertain future.

Trying to reminisce the good old days of Hong Kong with an 10 years old photo of Victoria Harbour—taken on New Year’s Eve 2015... I’m reminded of the magic and spirit that made old Hong Kong unforgettable.

How I wish I could take this shot in a more creative way, but just a glance (and smell) of the bbq pork was making me starve.:-)

"all time favourites" In photography, I'm not sure if there is right or wrong, even good or bad, but there are certainly the interesting or the boring, like or dislike. These are the ones I like most...

First light over Victoria Harbour - 5:38 AM. From my Hong Kong archives.
Left is the Hung Hom cargo pier - here the cargo transfer from rail to ship is done. The tall building in the left background is the "Harbourfront Landmark".
Right is North Point on Hong Kong Island.
Slightly increased saturation. View large on a black background.

Not sure exactly what's going on here, but the composition, the pattern of dots and stripes, and all rendered in monotones... this kid has some skills...
I recall that this big cat was a lot more compelling when I was a small boy - it must have got old or the "jungle" got too big, I don't know...

View from Hung Hom, Hong Kong
It was taken at Mid-autumn Festival under the scorching sun. Every time when i go past this building, i notice the changes of its exterior since the construction began. Sunlight went through the glass ceiling on the pavement and i was fascinated by the patterns on the wall. It was the second time that i had tried to capture it and it turned out to be one of my favourite pictures in years.
Excerpt from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hung_Hom_station:
Hung Hom (紅磡) is a passenger railway station in Hung Hom, Kowloon, Hong Kong. It is an interchange station between the East Rail line and the Tuen Ma line domestic services of the MTR network, as well as the southern terminus of cross-border through-trains to mainland China which has been discontinued. This station serves the southern terminus of the East Rail Line in early morning before the first northbound train from Admiralty arrives. As the station is located next to the Cross-Harbour Tunnel's northern portal, it is also served by many cross-harbour bus routes.
Opened as the new southern terminus of the Kowloon–Canton Railway (KCR) on 24 November 1975, the station was substantially expanded in the 1990s, at which time it was given its present name. The KCR British Section was also renamed KCR East Rail in order to differentiate it from the new KCR West Rail, which opened on 20 December 2003 and was extended to Hung Hom station on 16 August 2009.
As part of the Sha Tin to Central Link project, the East Rail line was extended across Victoria Harbour to Admiralty via a new immersed tube tunnel to the south of Hung Hom. The West Rail line was also extended via eastern Kowloon to connect to the former Ma On Shan line, with the combined line being renamed "Tuen Ma line".
