Hong Kong Park
An artificial lake in Hong Kong Park.
Basically the same picture taken with a different exposure so you can see 
the skyscrapers overhead.
The oldest building in Hong Kong, now home to the Museum of Tea Ware.
Many office workers eating their lunch outside. Feeling inspired, I went 
to Pret A Manger and bought a Malay curry chicken wrap (chicken, pumpkin, 
red chilies) and a yogurt (with strawberries and granola) and sat outside 
here and ate.

A waterfall.  The sharp eyed will notice a wedding party posing for 
photos.  I actually saw a few such groups in the park.  I later noticed a 
wedding registration office in the park.
Turtles and fish.
Yours truly.  (I make sure to take one picture of myself using my camera's 
timer on every trip.)
Another road in the park.

Imagine how awesome this shot would be if I had taken it with a wide angle 
lens.

Hong Kong Park's Aviary
One view in the aviary.
Another.
Peering.
Look at how they cleaned out the papaya.  They must love it!

Hong Kong Zoological and Botanical Gardens
A panoramic movie of the zoo's central fountain.
How many statues can you spot? (in the Hong Kong Zoological and Botanical 
Gardens)  I know there's at least six.
Flamingos and a stream.  I like the stream more. :) Too bad the screen is 
in the way.

I like the lighting and decor of this restaurant I spotted on Hollywood 
Road.

Lan Kwai Fong, a hip nightlife street/area.
Looking the other direction on Lan Kwai Fong.

Looking eastward down Wellington Street from Cochrane Street.
I discovered a food market on Graham street near Wellington.  It's much 
like the markets in Shanghai, but people don't yell for your 
attention/business as you walk by and also this one is much bigger: spread 
over half a dozen blocks, it's literally the city's central market.
Cochrane Street just goes up and up.
Queens Road Central has lots of shopping.
