A recent visit to Hong Kong/China [lots of pics...]



  Nimbus 197
I've selected a few photos from my trip that I'd like to share with you CS folks. They're in no particular order. Comments and criticisms welcome!

[7] Great Wall of China. During my time in China, the weather was dull. Overcast sky/rain every single day. Just my luck!

[8] "Bian Lian" master getting ready to perform. I love watching these performances. (youtube example here) The technique is a closely guarded secret that is one of China's National Treasures.

[9] Lets take a look to see what's on the menu for din dins...."Sheep's Penis" was also available but those weren't on show for some reason.

[10] World Expo @ Shanghai. I've never seen so many people in my entire life. Queuing is practically non-existant and granny's will even use their grandchildren to shield themselves to push their way through. :| Giant animated baby in the Spanish Pavaillion. I managed to get a queue jump for this using a promotional offer that was made available as Spain won the world cup.

[11] Can't remember where this was but it was taken inside a silk factory.

[12] Theatrical performance in Hang Zhou.

[13] aaand back to HK. This fella is a bit of a local hero. I was on a boat trip to an island just outside of HK. On the way their, we dropped him off and collected him on return - approximately a four hour time period. During this time, he swims around this area to catch seafood armed with a polystyrene box, a screwdriver, flippers and some goggles.

Nice set!

Really like #4
I wish i had my camera when i went to the wall. Missed out big time there.
 
wow cracking pics mate! I think the weather added to the Great Wall shots, maybe black and white could work well for that shot maybe.

Been to HK twice, amazing place for photos!!
