The morning shoot was a washout from rain and fog - on my way back to the road dripping wet this last minute scene appeared and made me smile

The top structure of 2 International Finance Centre (國際金融中心二期) - the 2nd tallest building in Hong Kong at the time the shot was taken. Telephoto shot from The Peak.
As the shot was taken with a VR Nikkor (VR = Vibration Reduction) - the VR is best shut off when using such lenses on a tripod (even if the manufacturer states something else). View it on a black background

Hong Kong is a global financial hub, and has been a major destination for tourists and business people from around the world for at least a century. Today it is also a major tourism destination for mainland China's increasingly affluent population.

Excerpt from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hong_Kong_Tramways:
Hong Kong Tramways (HKT) is a 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm) narrow-gauge tram[3] system in Hong Kong. Owned and operated by RATP Dev, the tramway runs on Hong Kong Island between Kennedy Town and Shau Kei Wan, with a branch circulating through Happy Valley.
Hong Kong's tram system is one of the earliest forms of public transport in the metropolis, having opened in 1904 under British rule. It has used electric trams since its inauguration, and has never used horse or steam power. It owns the world's largest operational double-decker tram fleet, and is a very rare example of a tram system that uses them exclusively.[4] In addition to being used by commuters, the system is popular with tourists, and is one of the most environmentally friendly ways of travelling in the city.
For roughly 12 USD or 95 Hong Kong Dollars, Star Ferry's Harbour Tour is a real sightseeing bargain. More importantly, Star Ferry offers splendid views of Hong Kong you can't see otherwise. There are few sight-seeing activities I'll partake in these days, but this ferry is worth breaking my rule. A ride on the water is especially nice when there is a golden sunset ready to glisten on the harbour's waters.
Star Ferry itself is a beloved Hong Kong icon. Until 1978 Star Ferry was the only way to cross between Hong Kong Island and Kowloon. It shuttled Hong Kong residents for over 120 years until the Cross-Harbour Tunnel opened. How remarkable the ferry runs as a means of transportation even today.
The harbour tour is an excellent choice for touring Victoria Harbour in roughly an hour. National Geographic Traveller names crossing Victoria Harbour as one of the "fifty places of a lifetime." NG Traveller is enthusiastic it seems, though I'd agree if you should add a ride on the water to your list of things to do in Hong Kong at least once.
You'll board the tour at Tsim She Tsui Star Ferry Pier at the tip of the Kowloon Peninsula. A stately double-decker "Shining Star" replica from the 1920's version awaits you. Do beware of over-exuberant Australians who are willing to fist fight over the front seats. Thank goodness this gentleman wasn't involved, though I did witness such sordid behaviour in disbelief.
That said, choose your space, sit back and relax.

Apartment towers on Tsing Yi Island and in Tsuen Wan (left side). Tsing Yi and Tsuen Wan are separated by the Rambler Channel. The bright lights in the center are from the Tsing Yi MTR station, a ship in the channel shows up as light trails, due to the long exposure.

Hong Kong (Chinese: 香港), officially the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, is a largely self-governing territory of the People's Republic of China, facing Guangdong province to the north and the South China Sea to the east, west and south. Hong Kong is a global metropolitan and international financial centre, and has a highly developed capitalist economy.
Here's a photo of Hong Kong taken from across the river on the Kowloon side. This was taken out of the window of the Ritz-Carlton there when we were doing the tour there. This is one of the photos I submitted to the whole Vanity Fair team for the Oscars thing, but it was rejected! No, that's okay.... they were just selecting one photo from Hong Kong and this was one of a few submissions. They decided on another one that I really like as well.
