Saturday Snapshots #264

Hong Kong street scene – September 2013

Chaotically beautiful, Hong Kong’s streets are alive with colours, sounds and smells – a sensory overload in the truest sense of the word.  It’s like a scene from Bladerunner, with less rain 🙂

 

Saturday Snapshots is a series of non-food photographs published every Saturday on CookSister.  Previously featured photographs can be viewed on the Saturday Snapshots archive pages. Many photos featured in Saturday Snapshots are available to buy as high-quality greeting cards or prints in my RedBubble store, or even as high-quality A3-size calendars. If you want a custom calendar with your own selection of photos, starting with any month (not only January), please e-mail me and we can discuss your requirements.

    WOW! It is SO busy and colorful and vibrant and chaotic and amazing. 🙂 So different from the view outside my window here on the farm. But I love both. 🙂

      It’s chaotic even when compared to my life here in London ;o) It was fantastic for a weekend but it would take some getting used to if I had to live there.

    Its such a great city- that view doesn’t seem to have changed much since I was there (years, and years ago!)

      I know – it looks a little like my parents photos from the 1970s too! But I fear that “old” Hong Kong is slowly ebbing away and little neighbourhood shops are being bought up and redeveloped as chi chi apartments 🙁
