I took this photo of Wanchai from a bus, and though it’s not really sharp it’s not bad for a night shot on a bus with running engine. Look closer at the other bus in the opposite lane and you’ll have an idea of where I was - the front of the top deck. Actually even before I started this blog, I’ve always like to sit in the front of the top deck to enjoy the view. Btw, the shop in the left street corner is a big herbal tea shop and the other neon signs are mostly of restaurants.
It’s sunny and nice in HK today and I hope you’ll have a nice Sunday too! There’s a poll about the thumbnails underneath, so have a look!
Street scene Wanchai
nice night shot.and i know its very popular to have the herbal tea in HK and Guang dong area. I once tried it, mmm…strange taste for me. but its very popular in other parts of China as I know.
btw, I also like to sit in the front of the top deck of the bus. But here only 2 lines of bus are doubledeck.
have a nice weekend.

Outstanding night shot! I can even see the sharp outline of Bank of China in the distance.

November 26th, 2006, at 11:46 pm #Hi Hong Kong! Thanks for stopping by my site
I will add your new link tomorrow as I cannot get into the html editing stuff on the weekends here for some reason.
Love the night shot of Hong Kong! Makes it look like life is very fast-paced with things zooming by!
November 26th, 2006, at 11:57 pm #Lisi, I left Hong Kong in 1970 and my last visit was in 89.
November 27th, 2006, at 12:31 am #Lisi, the night shot is nice, I am still trying to look closer to other lane of the bus as you said. I only see three numbers. The sign on the bus is not so clear, maybe i need a magnificent glasses.^-^

Hi, Lisi, beautiful night shot. Your new look is a kind of minimalist, I like it. Fine work.
November 27th, 2006, at 6:36 am #Superbe photo, la nuit, la vitesse, on a vraiment l’impression d’etre spectateur de cette scene. bravo
November 27th, 2006, at 1:25 pm #Superb photograph at night speed, one has really the impression to be spectator of this scene. cheer
hi lisi! i always check out your blog but was always too shy to post a comment.
your pictures are amazing, it makes me miss HK so much! did you take this picture on the bus at the southorn playground bus stop? i ask because it is so deja vu for me to look at this picture, i was there this past summer doing an internship and would always catch the bus home from the stop in front of the playground in wanchai.
November 27th, 2006, at 1:46 pm #Love this night shot. I think it is HK with all its colour and life. You have a really lovely blog with clean lines and great photos.

Kris, it was around 10 pm; no breeze, the windows can’t be opened and the buses are all air-conditioned, 365 days a year, very environmental-unfriendly…
Christine, welcome, don’t be shy; I really like to have people filling in whatever info about the photos. And yes deja vu indeed, it was next to the Southorn Playgrounds.
Thank you all for the footprints (still haven’t figured out how to change “comments” to “footprints” on this template :)), I guess part of the credit should go to HK itself, it’s a vibrant city even at night!
