Sai Kung selection

Some simple fare today. A few shots from my limp around town with Mrs. Ha yesterday.

Never seen this guy before but he seemed popular, turning balloons into all sorts of strange objets d’art. I don’t think he earned much.

The Man with the Balloons.

Sai Kung can never be accused of lacking colour

Just tucked into the wall, a small private shrine. Note the little monkey figure on the right. I need to find out who he is. The central figure is Kuan Yin, Goddess of Mercy. Very popular in HK.

  1. I’m with Alessandro and Mr Gingold – it’s great to see HK through your eyes. I’ve never been there but your pictures give me an idea of what it is like. Maybe you could plant a little Winnie the Poo or Tigger by one of the shrines?

    Mr Saucisson avec les balloons and Heavy metal are my favourites!

  2. Looking at these pictures i realize that – skyscrapers apart – i had no idea at all of what the real Hong Kong looks like. I thoroughly enjoy browsing these streeets through your photography.

  3. Very enjoyable trip around town. I, of course liked the cat whose back bone seemed to be protruding. He probably lives a hard life. My favorite pic is of the very slim, long boats in the harbor. I reckon they have a name The dog pic is also good.

I'd be delighted to hear what you think
