This is Connaught Road in Central around 10 pm on a weekday evening. About 120 years ago this was the shoreline of the HK island. Nowadays it is a major passage linking the island to other parts of HK, or even the world — check in your flight at the Central terminal (behind the building on the right), take the 23-minute airport railway ride and you’ll be on your way.

What a fantastic view! I love the city night life character
May 29th, 2006, at 6:22 pm #Lisi,this has got to be one of your best photos, the light the colour and with movement. Makes me want to rush to the nearest city. Never mind I’ll just have to go to the beach…..again!!

May 29th, 2006, at 6:41 pm #What a perfect shot! U must have used a tripod to get such good movements and perfect lighting, no?

May 29th, 2006, at 9:36 pm #hey, i just discovered your blog and i love it! i live right across the border in shenzhen and have a very similar website, except i post about 3-5 photos per day. i only wish you were not on blogspot, because that is blocked in china, but at least its not something that i can’t solve with a proxy!
May 29th, 2006, at 10:54 pm #I agree with others; this is one of your better photos. I enjoy the color, the movement, and the night-life feel to it. Good job!

I’m also curious as to where you were stading when you took this shot..on an overpass maybe??
Anyway, thanks a lot again for helping me out while I was away.

May 30th, 2006, at 1:24 pm #Gorgeous pic. Wonderful exposure. Perfect!
May 30th, 2006, at 3:39 pm #This is a great photo. I think you need to change to your profile from ‘not a photographer’ to a good photographer.
May 30th, 2006, at 3:41 pm #Great photo Lisi!
May 30th, 2006, at 4:01 pm #wow! Lisi, this is awesome!!!
May 30th, 2006, at 4:39 pm #i agree with Loise, its time to change ..;)
Thank you for the compliments! This is such a typical HK night photo
Jesse — welcome to my blog
Karine, Jenny and Midnitebara — I was on a footbridge like the one on the right and I just put my camera on the ledge and let it did the exposure.
Louise and Kris — how about changing that to “almost a photographer”? Frankly I’m not always happy with my skills
May 30th, 2006, at 5:14 pm #Whaoh ! It looks like we were there. Big effect !
May 31st, 2006, at 6:00 pm #Wonderful view and shot!
