Telford Shopping Mall ( 德福廣場 ) - July 2007

Telford Shopping Mall is on the top of Kowloon Bay MTR station at Kowloon Bay, Kowloon, Hong Kong.

Resin ?

I saw it on a tree which was by the side of a path leading to the peak of the Dai To Yan at Lam Tsuen Country Park in New Territories, Hong Kong.
As usual, if there is a would on the skin of the tree, it secretes some sticky liquid around it.

I took these photos with -0.3 exposure compensation. I will try -0.7 or -1.0 again in future.
The blossom only lasts within three days.

Clouds ( 雲海 ) - June 2007

It was my practice to shoot clouds with a polarizing filter. I do not satisfy the effect. They cannot show the 3 dimensions completely. I will try again at different angles of sunlight.
The clouds were above the former North Point Estate near the pier in North Point at Hong Kong Island. The Hong Kong Estate disappeared years ago. now it is waiting for a new development - residential buildings / commercial buildings with a mall at here.
In first photo, Does it look like a cat jumping from the top, with its legs spreading out?

Modern " Dai Pai Dong " - June 2007

Years ago there were so many " Dai Pai Dong " along the pavement in small streets. we could easily found them in old residential area and somewhere near the markets. They provided delicious meals, dessert and Chinese traditional snacks. The price is low but the quality is good.
Due to the number of citizens are increasing gradually, We have to increase much more rooms for vehicles. Therefore, Government started to build a complex which provides a market, cooked food, indoor sport ground, and the library in some of them.
The complex is near the pier and bus terminal at North Point.
Now, There are not so many " Dai Pai Dong " left in the streets. Most of them move into the complex.
I will try to find some " Dai Pai Dong " photos uploaded in my blog for reference.
Uncle Chi told me that there is a best place to have the " Cheung Fan " dim sum which is made right after your order. The foods are the best buy. we can taste the food which we have tasted in our childhood.
This cooked food place looks like Food Plaza ( Lau Ba Sha ) in Singapore.
