Today’s photo is of the Royal Viking Sun, berthed in Kowloon in 1989. The Royal Viking Sun was built in 1988, one year earlier, so like the Lippo Center Towers and the Bank of China Tower, she was essentially brand new at the time I took this photo.
In the blurb on yesterday’s photo I mentioned how the serene scene of a foggy Victoria Harbour was misleading because of the cacophony of commerce that was coming from behind me.
I wasn’t really prepared for a foggy day in Hong Kong. The photo below is from somewhere on the Kowloon waterfront near Salisbury Garden looking across Victoria Harbour to the island.
I titled this shot ‘Blackfin Sundowners’ for somewhat obvious reasons – the prominent Blackfin on the sail of the largest boat and the fact that the sun is setting.
Three school girls heading home somewhere near Kota Kinabalu. From the shadows it’s clearly close to sunset as these thee girls pick their way along the shoreline at the base of the cliff.
Fishermen still waiting for the right conditions to launch and cast their nets. The nets look quite large rolled up and stowed on the canoes.
