Pearl of the Orient

p1140104s.jpg

Hong Kong is aka the pearl of the Orient for a reason, it glows! I took this photo from the waterfront promenade at Tsimshatsui East and have saved it specially for Christmas Day. The camera exposure did exaggerate the lights but I like the dazzling and dramatic effect.

Peace and Merry Christmas to you all!

    Ce joyeux Noël, des cadeaux plein les bras,
    Qui réchauffe nos coeurs et apporte la joie,
    Jour des plus beaux souvenirs,
    Plus beau jour de l’année.”

    Amazing shot! I love photos like this, but unfortunatly they’re not too easy to shoot here in Trondheim, nor as spectacular as this. Merry christmas!

    Thank you all for dropping by during Christmas…and I’m glad that you like these night shots although, I’ve been posting many night shots lately so maybe I should start taking photos in the day soon :-)

    Lisi, another magnificent photo! I don’t believe any camera can exaggerate what is without question the most magnificent skyline on the planet!
    Great capture, and warm holiday greetings from your friends in Minneapolis!
