We have come the full swing now, dark to light. The long nights are now history and the days grow longer daily. But during the dark nights of December the little Christmas lights radiated light in the dark.
Here in northeast Oklahoma, the temperatures have dipped and the cold arctic air is upon us. We have come through the winter solstice, the sun has made its furthermost arc in the sky to the south and the longest night, the days begin to be longer, the world has rejoiced at the birth of the sun and now we head for yet the longest day of the year in six months and the cycle continues.
Speed, An addiction that flew in our blood and souls, many of us Love Speed insanely and Most of us regard or in other words ignore the consequences of it. A Small Message I’d love my Picture to carry is: “Think of those who love you, before thinking of the fun that speed carries to you”

An eyewear shop, closed for the evening, and a hawker came occupying its shopfront... Another long, cold yet beautiful night.
Lee Garden Road, Causeway Bay
"Have no fear for when I'm alone, I'll be better off than I was before. I've got this light, I'll be around to grow. Who I was before I cannot recall" #longnights #eddievedder
"If my taste for living fades, my photos pale, because taking pictures is savouring life intensely, every hundredth of a second." Marc Riboud
Moving to this neighborhood and having contact with some lovely people almost everyday has helped me 'savour life' just once again. I even started shooting around these night streets like I did before...
Electric Road and Wing Hing Street, Tin Hau
Working hard for something we don't care about is pain. Working for something we believe (with or without tomorrow) is a blessing.
A back alley tailor, Eastern Street, Sai Ying Pun. 2012.
Amidst the darkness of the night, A light glows with all its might, A corner store remains open, Its display casting a magical sight...
Electric Road, Tin Hau. 2023.
Taking one last glance at this early public housing estate before it underwent redevelopment in 2012.
'By 2008, after 48 years, the estate was still in good condition but its estimated high maintenance cost made the Hong Kong Housing Authority decide to demolish the six blocks in March 2012.' Wikipedia
Gage Street, Central (one last street market, eventually brought to an end in 2015 and being redeveloped). 2012.
Another long night...

"People say we're waiting for something that isn't going to happen."
"Doing what we can do until the end is the best we can do."
Staunton Street, Central. 2012.
Another redeveloped corner building, another vanished corner store...
Hillier Street, Bonham Strand, Sheung Wan. 2013.
Faded, scratched, and rusted—the lift doesn't move anymore,
But will its door still open a window to the past...
Pak Sha Road, Causeway Bay. 2026.
A last remaining street market, a store of yesterday... And such a beauty it was. An "unfiltered honesty" is probably the only approach to these street shots I could think of. I can still hear and smell them...
Cross Street, Wanchai
it's another quiet, dark city night; there is light, yet hope isn't quite in sight.
we're together but alone; don't really mind as long as I'm with my phone.
anyway a whole night to kill, so better find a place for peace; maybe a chance to heal, and let the heavy heart release...
Whitfield Road, Tin Hau. 2023.
"i'm alone not lonely..." I keep telling myself.

Chung Ching Street, Sai Ying Pun, Hong Kong
One of the most beautiful Victorian homes in the historic village of Mendocino, the MacCallum House was built in 1882 as a wedding gift for Daisy Kelley and her husband Alex MacCallum. Here it is all dressed up for the holiday season.
Best wishes to all during this special time, where the longest nights of Winter Solstice give way gently to the longest days of Summer Solstice, as our planet continues along its orbit around the sun.
May goodwill continue to exist and eventually prevail on this planet. It's important to keep hope alive. It seems during the Winter Solstice there is an especial wish to do this. Building on centuries of human aspirations we continue to celebrate a deep abiding relationship to light and warmth, kindness and spiritual values in many different cultural ways.
Time to clean up the haus after another long night. Getting ready for Friday's event.
Join us this Friday! 3pm.

'Chinese Arts & Jade, Wholesalers & Retailers'
From Buddha to Chairman Mao, just name it; you'd find it...
Unfortunately the problem is you can't find the shop here anymore.
Elgin Street, Central, Hong Kong
Another long winter night...
The same street and the same night as in the previous pic, but how different people spent it in such different ways.
Eastern Street, Sai Ying Pun. 2014.
