On Royal Caribbean’s Voyages of the Sea, to Kaohsiung and Taipei (Keelung) from Hong Kong.
There were wonderful views at the top deck.
In a contemplative mood.
Lots to take in.
The restaurant queue was crazy at first.
But the restaurant was awesome.

Cheung Chau – Busy and Tranquil Scenes
Just for contrast here.
There’re busy scenes.
People are at work.
You could find quiet moments as well.
Sharing time together.
Alone together.
Or simply by yourself.
You could frame and reframe a moment.
Until you disappear and everything is just right.
Cheung Chau as a Visual Feast
There’re so many scenes to linger over.
There’re quiet moments.
Time for ourselves.
Time to think.
A colourful moment.
Crafting time.
Things get moved around a lot here.
No kidding.
Scenes at Cheung Chau
Just a few more shots reminding me that everyday life is fascinating.
Things on offer.
Yummy cuttlefish!
Every day is work.
But if you find companionship then all is beautiful.
We all move from place to place.
We figure it out as we go along.
It’s all work in progress.
Cheung Chau Village Vehicles
Was visiting Cheung Chau island and I was fascinated by those small motor trucks.
So I spent quite a bit of time trying to snap pictures of those passing trucks.
Not every photo is perfect.
But I think the slightly haphazard compositions convey speed.
The drivers don’t seem to mind.
Most of the time they saw me and then looked away.
They’re probably used to tourists and daytrippers.
Thanks for reading!
Sai Kung Town – Looking for Fried Oreos
Walking around Sai Kung Town.
We were standing around waiting for the shop to open. Apparently they have fried Oreos which the kids wanted…
I like the witty name though. Wonder if the owner’s name is really Chip.
So we walked around for a bit.
The lady was trying to figure out what we were looking at.
Nice street exhibit.
Hard at work.
Outside a seafood restaurant – the obligatory scene to take at Sai Kung.
And yes – fried Oreos!
A Short Hike to the Next Village
We’ve about 2 hours to kill, so what better way to do it and get a bit of mild exercise than to go hiking, from our village to the next.
The theme of the day – rustic beauty. Debris at a nearby beach.
The colours are nice.
Up the steps.
Light at the end of the path.
Car, abandoned.
Nice green window.
Window and scarred wall of an abandoned village house.
Discarded electrical board.
Village road sign.
Nice open view.
Bye bye village!
Tsim Sha Tsui Waterfront
At the TST waterfront.
A bubby tent thing for kids I think.
Dreamy hazy glow.
Cultural Centre with a ghostly look…
A clearer view of the waterfront.
Where are we going?
The ice cream mobile.
The obligatory Orientalist shot of Chinese junk ship sail.
Watch your step!
Buskers … argh … someone’s finger got in the way. Still, I think it’s nicely flawed.
Nice architecture.
Hurry Hong Kong Hurry
Time to walk …
Compositions like these are strangely satisfying …
It’s not difficult.
But the lines seem to be exerting a kind of tension.
Everyone’s in a hurry.
Rush rush rush.
Quick, quick.
She’s sauntering…
Time to slow down…
Tsim Sha Tsui at Night
So here’s TST at night.
Everyone has a place to get to.
Spotted.
Someone’s waiting.
Someone’s looking.
Someone’s packing.
Someone’s unloading.
Boxes that have lost their purpose.
The mannequins and model are more alive than actual people.
We’re all shadows in a cave of our own making.
Hong Kong Lucida
