One of the places that we all hear about from child hood onward is Hong-Kong. It is the flow of the name that makes it stick. Many of us want to visit such a place because of the the hoopla surrounding them. Well, I did. Not only did I visit, I stayed for three years. Here are some of my best photos from that time.

   The modern high rises of Hong-Kong are a sharp contrast of the old traditional ways that are still practiced.

   In the shadows of the modern architecture vendors still sell old superstition and home remedies. The streets are filled with people at any time of day.

  The beauty of nature interrupts the day with pleasant surprises such as this rainbow.

   Even at night the city is alive with action. This is not surprising as it is has the busiest container terminal in the world.

   Large ships are loaded and unloaded around the clock.

  In the shadow of large ships are the many family boats that house families. These families live and work from their home on the family junk. At night when the sun sets the light changes the entire mood of the city and harbout.

   Dusk transforms the hard reality of city life in to a soft and gently view of life.

   Hong-Kong also has many surrounding islands that offer a place or retreat from the hussle and bustle.

   One thing is for sure. Hong-Kong is an unforgetable experience of sights, sounds, smells, culture and tradition that should be experienced by all travel enthusiests.
