Escape to Hong Kong – Mui Wo by night
A few slightly shaky snaps as I returned to Mui Wo this evening.
I have been fascinated by photography ever since I was a child. These days I am seldom more than a few metres from a camera. My photographic interests sprawl from artificial intelligence through to vintage zoom lenses. Unsurprisingly, there’s also quite a lot of Linux in the middle. :-) More…
A few slightly shaky snaps as I returned to Mui Wo this evening.
Day trip to Lymington. Grabbed a few snaps too, though it was too cold to hang about for too long.
Went to see an old friend in Lindhurst today. Stopped on the way to take a few photographs of the Christmas lights.
Thought I’d wander into Winchester and grab a few snaps of the Christmas lights.
I have not been out much the last few days, so I thought I’d go into central and do a bit of shopping.
Wandered about Kowloon for most of the day, taking pictures.
Another wander about Kowloon.
It was a really nice day today, so we thought we’d have breakfast on the beach at Mui Wo.
A very enjoyable meal with my pal’s Chinese girlfriend’s folks.
Wandered into Kowloon today, camera at the ready. I’ve always been particularly fascinated by Canton Road, where there are tiny shops packed to the ceilings with engineering bits, bearings springs etc. And other emporia with distinctly amusing names.
Went into Central with my hots today. It was quite hot and we didn’t do much. But I did manage to grab a handful moderately good snaps.
Thought I’d have a change today and go up into the Mui WO hills. Take a look at some of Llama Island’s fascinating countryside and perhaps grab a few photos.
It was quite a clear da today, so I thought I’d tale the Peak Tram and take some more snaps of the city from on high.
Caught the catamaran to visit the former Portuguese colony Macau today, accompanied by my friends and hosts.
My very temporary office on Hong Kong. Actually the basement of my friend’s house in Mui Wo. But it was a great base form which to see Hong Kong and its environs and it was very good of my friends to put me up.
The final leg, Belgium and then Calais on the north coast of France The trip that was planned to be about 1700 km each way in fact was over 5500 km, mostly due to our various detours. Other days Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6 Part 7 Part 8…

Prague > Berlin It’s not everybody’s cup of tea but I always had a bit of a soft spot for Berlin. I was there when the Wall came down. So it was interesting to go back and see what had become of it, after all these years. Other days Part 1 Part 2 Part 3…
