Red lanterns

Sheung Wan

I took this photo on Sunday in Aberdeen as I’ve always wanted to photograph these red lamp shades of the fruit stalls. I guess the reddish light makes the fruits’ more attractive, as seen in this photo I posted last August of the same stall.

    Hi all, thanks for the footprints…these red lamp shades are just so typical in fruit stalls and fish stalls!

    Jing, so you are the one who snatched my taxi on Haui Hai Road? just kidding

    Michelle and all, my first day at work went pretty well and I am just one final signature away from getting an apartment, which is much faster than I’ve expected. So if I’m ready to move in this weekend, I hope the internet connection will be ready at the same time so that I can visit DP blogs as I haven’t done so for sooooooooo long.
