This view may be a bit confusing…from the Central waterfront looking east, the HK Exhibition and Convention Centre (the wavy structure) actually seems very close to the new Star Ferry pier (the clock tower) in Central, while in fact they are farther apart (see this photo for reference, one is on the far right, the other was under construction on the far left). To further confuse you, the clock tower of the new pier is a replica of an old clock tower which preceded this one (<--link) which was demolished last month.
Thanks to Randy, Paul and David for contributing photos…and I hope there will be more coming…

Central
The hazy sky at dusk…a photographer was totally engrossed in capturing the view from Central looking towards Wanchai. I’ll show you the view he probably got tomorrow

Justice is blind? Maybe, but not Justitia, or Lady Justice. Though the Greek goddess is usually depicted wearing blindfold, the myth goes that she did it voluntarily to show people that justice was upheld regardless. Justitia (I kind of like this name) is no stranger to western culture as she is often seen adorning courthouses and important buildings. Here in HK, she stands on top of the former Supreme Court Building in Central, side by side with the big boys of $$ power, the Bank of China building and the Cheung Kong Centre.
