Postcard #32: Hong Kong

Hong Kong
Victoria Harbour

Victoria Harbour from Lugard Road, the narrow road circling the Peak, offering a different, but equally magnificent view every few yards. Pictures from here need updating twice a year because land reclamation and the pace of building make the scene change so rapidly. This is rightly considered to be one of the most exciting night views in the world.
