The view across the city in the previous shot was open and freeing. Turning about 120 degrees though… The numerous buildings with all their different designs, windows, sizes coming together makes me feel as if I’m caged. There’s something of a processor in this landscape, too. Or maybe I’ve seen TRON too many times.
As for the roof itself, Michael and I had to constantly step over a mass of pipes that covered the floor. We followed a few of them around, looking down the side of the building as they individually disappeared, floor by floor.
We experienced the worst vertigo of all on this particular rooftop. We were next to another tower, separated by about two metres of empty space, all the way to the ground. This adjacent tower was about double the height. For whatever reason though, being up in the sky and looking up even further really got the legs wobbling. Eurgh. It was fun being up there, but I wasn’t too sad to head back down to the ground.

I know, I know. Hong Kong, again! I’m not wealthy- I just keep spending all my money on going there. I don’t think they say ‘Fourth Times the Charm’ but this trip was just that - a success. For almost the entire time I kept my mental health issues at bay. It was a good trip. After three disasters - It is really nice to say that.
A great golden digger wasp out feeding on a rattlesnake master flower. Named after the golden hair on the head and thorax and the habit of females of digging a tunnel into sandy areas to lay their eggs on a paralyzed captured insect. Despite the warning coloration, this is not an agressive species.
