Nam Long Shan (also known as Brick Hill) is a hill on the Hong Kong Island of Hong Kong, near Wong Chuk Hang and Aberdeen. At an elevation of 247 metres, it overlooks the South China Sea in the south, Sham Wan and Aberdeen Channel in the west, and Deep Water Bay in the east.

The Summit of Ocean Park is on the southern slopes of Nam Long Shan, with a cable car system connecting through the eastern slopes to the Waterfront in Wong Chuk Hang.

Singapore International School, Canadian International School of Hong Kong, Good Shepherd Sisters Marycove Centre, Hong Kong Juvenile Care Centre Chan Nam Cheong Memorial School, Nam Long Hospital and David Trench Home for the Aged are on the western slope of the Nam Long Shan.

Taking a page from Alicia's book. I didn't realize it though until I just looked through her stream and saw one like this!

As I was walking around campus on a super bright autumn day I spotted these interesting fence and tree shadows cast upon our standard patterned brick sidewalk.

Fence Friday is pretty tricky for me. Most of our fences are just chain link draped between the metal posts.

We also have lots of construction fences, but they are usually large, covered with some kind of banner or work cloth and concealing the interesting things behind them.

Hope you all have a great weekend.

"The Three Little Pigs" is a fable about three pigs who build three houses of different materials. A Big Bad Wolf blows down the first two pigs' houses, made of straw and sticks respectively, but is unable to destroy the third pig's house, made of bricks.

Just over a year ago, a fire broke out on Columbia Street and destroyed half a block of historic buildings.

As a former Potter (or do you say “Ceramicist”- or Silica Technologist) I instinctively knew that there was a former factory that baked clay here, whether a Tile Factory or something related to “firing” Clay.

Thanks to Google Maps (-👍 👍! ) I now know

it was The Antigos Fornos da Fabrica de Loucas de Massareles of near Campagna Train Station in PORTO.
