Hong Kong light show at night

Hong Kong light show at night

Every night, the Hong Kong skyscrapers put on a crazy light show. People gather on the waterfront across Kowloon bay to watch it. Hong Kong has the most skyscrapers of anywhere in the world, and many of them participate in this show. It is at once the cheesiest thing ever and a must-see (at least once) attraction. I'm always amused at how some buildings really get into it (enthusiastic lighting folks in there, I guess!) and others are really lame and barely participate (like sending out a single laser once or twice during the show)

A random alley in Hong Kong

A random alley in Hong Kong

This dark alleyway opens up to tall buildings shining in the sun. Much of Hong Kong is like this- nondescript apartment buildings like the one in the distance rise up to heights that would signify an important, expensive skyscraper in other cities. Old alleys become alleys between larger buildings.

Petunias

Petunias

Flowers in the park... I've now been informed that they are probably petunias, not violets or pansies- my botany skills are sub-par for a biologist (give me a bacteria, protein code, or mammal and I can probably tell you what you're looking at, but plants are my nemesis) so I have no idea personally.

Water and cottonwood pollen

Water and cottonwood pollen

The cottonwood pollen coats the water like a soft allergy-inducing blanket...and a tree breaks through the wall to reach up and be free!

Go No Further!

Go No Further!

These block the entrance to many an area in Chaoyang Park's series of lakes- preventing boats from going past into other areas.
