| Hong Kong Harbour |
As soon as I landed in Hong Kong, we were hit with a typhoon warning for the evening. Being my first major holiday away from Australia as an adult, I was stressing out a bit. Luckily for us, the typhoon just missed the city overnight, and the rest of the trip we were blessed by beautiful clear days. Hong Kong was such a unique experience, an extremely bustling city with deliciously cheap food, great shopping locations and stunning views.
I took the above photo along the star walk on the harbour in the late afternoon. It was a rather muggy day and the smog gave the sun this wonderful orange tinge. I was so happy to be in the right place at the right time to capture this moment, because just fifteen minutes later, it lost the amazing orange glow. I purposely positioned the sun between the two poles to initially draw the focus upon it. Despite going to more picturesque locations, I feel this was my best/favourite photo of Hong Kong.
Other highlights of the trip included visiting the picturesque Lantau Island (and the giant bronze Buddha statue), going to Disneyland, seeing the views of the city from up on Victoria's Peak and drinking at the highest bar in the world at the top of the Ritz Carlton Hotel.
