Long time again...

Been working like crazy again. Have spent the last few weeks in HK doing a lot of R&D with some new processing techniques and camera systems for work and will be heading out for a few months very soon.

Was able to enjoy a walk down to the waterfront last night though! In HK I live in a village near Tai Po, a "town" of about 320,000 people. Every night there are some people who fly these massive kites up to 500m above the ground and its really cool to see the different kinds of kites they have.

This shot was taken from the top of the 1997 handover monument along the waterfront park. The body of water is Tolo Harbor and the town way off in the distance is Ma On Shan.

Hong Kong Cycling and Fishing



Along the waterfront of Tolo Harbor there is a nice cycling path. It runs all around the harbor and eventually across the reservoir with branches in every direction inland. Basically, from Ma On Shan to Tai Po its possible to stay right next to the water on this path.



A view of Tolo Harbor in Hong Kong's New Territories. The white cluster of buildings on the left side is aptly nicknamed the Beehive because of a striking resemblance from some angles. Its a very refreshing break from the typical architecture of HK. All along the waterfront from Ma On Shan to Tai Po there are people fishing like this guy.
