The 31st March was the last day of Hong Kong's Star Ferry service to Hung Hom. The contract had come to an end and, owing to declining passenger numbers, no company was willing to operate it.
Ironically the final days ferries were packed with everyone taking their final opportunity to ride on the iconic journey - including me!

Bougainvillea, a native of Brazil is a deciduous (leaf losing), climbing woody vine. Tiny white flowers usually appear in clusters surrounded by colorful papery bracts, hence the name paper flower. Single and double flower forms are available. The woody trunk tends to be twisted and the thin stem have sharp thorns and dark green leaves. Bougainvilleas can be easily grown as a hedge, an arch or a tree on the ground and in pots. Bougainvilleas available in a variety of species, is ideal for bonsai.
The real flowers of bougainvillea are hidden by the showy petal-like bracts (modified leaves) surrounding the flower, the actual flowers are quite small, tubular and white in colour.

An otherwise decent display of graffiti art. Until someone decided to write "I'm the fish B!@tc#" right in the middle of it all.
95 Baker St, Hung Hom
Clothesline is suspended from beneath a balcony, to provide coverage over the clothes and protect from the weather and rain. Wires are knotted around metal rod attachments that have been built into the wall. Socks are clipped onto a plastic mobile contraption, and clothes are aired out on coat hangers. The location of the windows and the 'balcony' created by the shop underneath would probably enable residents to step out onto the platform to hang and collect their washing, as part of their regular or daily routine.

Hung Hom Station, Hong Kong
- it's my favorite station in Hong Kong, lots of glass windows, never feels overcrowded and has an airport feel to it.
