“Memories of Kai Tak – 1925-1998”
A Tribute to Hong Kong’s Aviation History at Kai Tak Station
Artwork Title:
"Memories of Kai Tak - 1925-1998"
Artist Name:
Cliff Dunnaway (Canada)
Location:
Kai Tak Station
Artwork Completion Date:
2020
Concept:
To celebrate the opening of Kai Tak Station on 14 February 2020, the MTR Corporation commissioned this photo display illustrating some of the history of Kai Tak Airport from 1925 to 1998. The events, aircraft and people that made Kai Tak synonymous with early aviation in Hong Kong and set the foundation of Hong Kong’s thriving aviation industry of today are presented here to be enjoyed by all of our visitors.
Kai Tak Station is situated on just a small part of the historic site of the old Kai Tak Airport. The early aviation history of Kai Tak happened all around the area in which the station is now located although evidence of that important history has been rendered mostly invisible by Hong Kong’s comprehensive urban development. All of this exciting history happened within a stone’s throw of where visitors now stand within Kai Tak Station!
It is therefore most important that the contributions of Kai Tak to the growth and prosperity of Hong Kong, along with the collective memories of the people of Hong Kong should not be forgotten.

"Street Scenes of Sai Ying Pun" is a community arts project led by the Hong Kong Youth Arts Foundation and local photographer and artist Tse Ming-chong.
In recent years, the historical district of Sai Ying Pun has undergone huge changes. To help document these changes and create an archive of memories for the community, over thirty young people worked with the artist to create photo collages combining over 450 pieces of monochrome photos. The artwork depicts the unique and vibrant character of the neighbourhood and records the traditional shops, the heritage buildings and the daily lives of the local residents.

…once upon time,..relics when there were gas station attendants who cleaned the windshield & rear window during refuelling the gasoline, measured the tire pressure & oil level, checked the radiator water & friendly wished a good journey.
The Museum officially opened an area of 11,700 square mtr, with a construction area of 27,985 square mtr, a building height of 32.45 mtr & a total exhibition area of about 10,000 square mtr to the public in January 2007.
According to its functions, the interior space of the Shanghai Automobile Museum is divided into five parts; the historical museum, the collection hall, the exploration hall, the temporary exhibition area & the conference & leisure area.
The Collection Pavilion stages milestones in automobile development from the years 1900 to 1975 with a collection of 39 classic & antique cars of more than 20 brands. Highlighted, on shiny aluminium platforms, are so-called "dream machines", dream cars that were considered unaffordable at all times. Original design products as well as films, photos & sound complete the automotive experience & allow visitors to immerse themselves in bygone times. The Collection Pavilion is located on the first upper floor of the Shanghai Auto Museum.
All-in-all, there are around 100 cars on display in the museum, dating back to the earliest automobiles from the late 19th century to the modern electric cars of this era. The accompanying documentation is also very well done, in both English & Chinese, also French & German-language audio guides.
The Shanghai Automobile Museum is a five-storey building with the essence of communication & integration of space, visual penetration & communication. The building’s façade is covered with a large area of transparent glass, allowing to enjoy the natural landscape of the surrounding park, there are several different levels of terraces, roof terraces & the interior of the building is designed to be open & closed.
The shape design of the venue uses a flowing curve, symbolizing the trajectory of the car at high speed, reflecting the sporty theme of the car museum & its architecture is also like a superimposed book, metaphorizing the museum’s knowledge & cultural taste.

Otter on the River Don Christmas Eve 2019 (Young Otter I believe quite small).
I was watching three Otters across the river around 40-50 mtrs away when this small loan Otter popped up right by me 4 - 5 mtrs away. She swam away down stream 10 mtrs or so then came closer to the bank and swam back up stream right past Max and I, just to check us out I'm sure. She must have passed by no more than 4 mtrs away from me, with occasional short pauses in her swim to look Max and I up and down.
Meanwhile the three the other side were busy in and out of the water, two larger Otters and a smaller one. I have no idea if the small one closer was related, though I suspect it must have been as they don't normally share close proximity with others in their habitat. May be a last years youngster. There was no reaction / interaction between the three and this solo Otter.
