May 2012: How Green was my valley in HK?

Here are some assorted photographs of the greenery from my room and from my walk. One doesn't usually expect to see much green in HK, the images are usually of lighted and gleaming tall buildings. So this will be a bit of a surprise.

Can you imagine this dense jungle? In the middle of HK?

Skyscrapers on the left

And a very heavily forested hill on the right, although its starting to get construction done as well.

Some kind of a pool? storage tank? not sure what this is all about.

Labelling the trees? Couldn't wait for the damn peak tram, too long a queue, not moving fast enough, so dropped that idea.
