Hong Kong


Cort's Corner -> Photographs -> Hong Kong


Been to Hong Kong twice. The first time, I was sailing as a midshipman. The second time, I was with a friend on a trip to both Hong Kong and Taiwan. If you're an anime fan, Hong Kong have plenty of cheap anime DVDs. They are however, almost entirely bootleg, so you really should be buying from legit dealers like DVD Pacific instead.

Victoria Harbor

Victoria Harbor

This shot of Victoria Harbor was taken from halfway up Victoria Peak. It had just rained earlier, so I was able to get a reasonably clear shot. Most of the time I was in Hong Kong, it was covered with a thick smog which played havoc with my sensitive nose, and screwed up any shot of the city.

The life of our city is rich in poetic and marvelous subjects.
We are enveloped and steeped as though in an atmosphere of the marvelous;
but we do not notice it.
-Charles Baudelaire-
