The family and I spent a week in Hong Kong for Songkran this year.

Finally got around to looking at the pictures, long way to go, but here's a frew from the first couple of days.

Dragon Statue near our hotel next to happy Valley Race Course.

Market in Causeway Bay.

Flower Market over in Kowloon.

As always, excellent pictures!

Near the flower market there was a bird park which seemed to be where locals took their birds for a walk (in their cages) and socialised.

Further down the road was the 'Goldfish Market', Siamese Fighting Fisgh seemed to be very popular.

The first time I was in Hong Kong at night, I immediately thought of 'Blade Runner'. It's obvious the HK visits had a visual effect on Ridley Scott.

Bobcock · 26-06-2009, 11:31 AM

Some more night shots.

Next stop Disneyland, first up my hero, Buzz Lightyear.

Bobcock · 26-06-2009, 12:28 PM

Fireworks at Disneyland. Not the best fireworks photos I have ever taken, but not the worst either.

Last lot, Lantau island and the monastery.

Jet Gorgon · 28-06-2009, 03:20 AM

Great shots, BC. Love the Lantau ones, especially. We used to take the boat over for Sunday drunk brunches.

BarnacleBill · 06-07-2009, 09:00 PM

Brings back memories - I was there in the 1950's and the 1960's. Not much seems to have changed in downtown Wanchai - although the bright lights of Victoria seems that little brighter!

kelantan · 07-07-2009, 02:02 PM

You have given these pictures live..

Dick Farang · 09-07-2009, 07:03 PM

Nice pics, mate.

tjyflhol · 09-07-2009, 07:14 PM

Great pics as always, love the firework shots.

The lizard is a Thai Water Dragon (in case you wanted to know).

phomsanuk · 10-07-2009, 12:57 AM

kingwilly · 24-07-2009, 12:31 PM
