Hong Kong Harbour Views #photography

We had a nice treasure hunt around Hong Kong and this is just the photographs from Harbour area.

Casting off on the ferry on the central side

Photobucket

Sitting around on highly polished wooden seats

Photobucket

A colleague asking one of the ferrymen a question.

Photobucket

That’s where we left.

Photobucket

Hazy skyscrapers. Check out the egg on the left.

Photobucket

Its a misty kind of day. Perfect time for a cuppa tea and samosas / bhajiyas. But no, BD had to go gallivanting around bloody HK Harbour totting his poxy camera.

Photobucket

Strange building there. Looks like one side has sort of sagged into itself. But I am sure they paid a ton of money to an architect to come up with that strange design.

Photobucket

Now that is something I can use for many blowhards as well, feel like smothering them.

Photobucket

The innards of the ferry.

Photobucket

The clock tower.

Photobucket

That’s one pretty building, no?

Photobucket

Looking back at the central side.

Photobucket

A row of skyscrapers. What’s a group of skyscrapers called?

Photobucket

And they continue.

Photobucket

Bloody hell, they keep on going!

Photobucket

AND some more!

Photobucket

Till you start heading into the other side. What’s that? looks like Jantar Mantar.

Photobucket

Nice scalloped roof. Looks very nice.

Photobucket

Ferries read for the return trip.

Photobucket

Another view of the skyscrapers.

Photobucket

Getting up and close to the jetty.

Photobucket

Billions of blue blistering barnacles.

Photobucket

The man with the hook


Photobucket

The building is missing Sauron’s eye.

Photobucket

Earth to the universe.

Photobucket

Then on the Kowloon side, looking at the clock tower plaque.

Photobucket

Did anybody forget their shoes?

Photobucket

Nice patterns.

Photobucket

See what I mean by sauron’s eye? Looks too scary to me, what’s with those damn prongs on the top of the building?

Photobucket

Lovely little chuggabout boat.

Photobucket

Looks like a police boat to me, was really going fast.

Photobucket

A chopper buzzing around.

Photobucket

Ah! one of my hero’s, long live Bruce Lee.

Photobucket 

Now doesn't that building remind you of this scene? Look at the top of building and see how it resembles the Barad Dur, the Fortress of Sauron, with the tower with the prongs on top with Sauron’s eye up there in flames. This vaguely phallic looking building with the prongs. Ok, so dont like it.
