It is Tuesday once again. Time for Frizztext’s A-Z Photo Challenge. Letter this week is H and I thought of sharing a few of my fairly-old photographs from Hong Kong with you. It is truly a citi-fied, highly urban place dotted with towering skyscrapers – and so here is an ode to..
Hong Kong’s Skyscrapers
“… a fine way to capture a piece of the magic of a unique city. The drama, the charm and the beauty of Hong Kong is all here-just as is its breathless energy.”
― Nury Vittachi, Hong Kong: The City of Dreams
“The city buildings in the distance are holding up the sky, it seems.”

“You take delight not in a city’s seven or seventy wonders, but in the answer it gives to a question of yours.”
― Italo Calvino, Invisible Cities

“You take delight not in a city’s seven or seventy wonders,
