Possible subject for a Chinese watercolor painting.
Tourists with a bronze sculpture of Bruce Lee.
Young Hong Kong enjoying the coolth of the evening.
They tell me that the particulate matter covers the entire Pearl River estuary in the wintertime, when the wind blows south from the vast industrial powerhouse of Guangdong Province. This, plus the vehicular discharge of thousands of buses and cars, makes breathing the air in Hong Kong a risky business for many.
But the tourists don't seem to mind.
The watcher on watch watching his watches
Two young women with a blue mickey mouse cutout. Or is it?
The Avenue of the Stars with live people and bronze sculptures.
Tourists stroll against the skyline of Causeway Bay.
