Black and White Photography in Hong Kong
Palm tree leaves, hiking at the Peak in Hong Kong
Back in Hong Kong
I had promised my friend Leighton an all-monochrome post when we returned to Hong Kong. I may have promised him that all my photos from this visit to Hong Kong would be black and white. This will be a hard promise to keep, as Hong Kong indeed is a very colorful place!
Our Second Visit to Hong Kong
It is good to be back. Temperatures are in the low twenties, and the sun is a nice change from the -6 degrees we left in Copenhagen, although the air was crisp and clear in Scandinavia. The winds are from the north, so we have more smog than we did during our last visit in November 2015. Air pollution is blown in from Mainland China.
We know our way around and we easily found Sharon and Leighton's apartment in Cloudlands on the Peak. Time flies, and we have already been out to watch Leighton's rugby game, followed by a nice dinner at the jockey club.
Leighton and I went for a Sunday hike around the Peak, and on Monday, I made a quick trip downtown to capture many of the images featured in this first post from Hong Kong.
We have also had a chance to reconnect with friends we met the last time we were here. ChingChing and Andreas arrived from London Sunday evening for a quick visit, and last night Janette and Chris joined us for dinner. We feel very welcome here, and it’s good to be back.
