Challenge yourself to rethink your ideas about what subjects are appropriate, and then challenge yourself again to find an unusual perspective on your subject- Lynn Wohlers
For this week’s challenge, Unusual Point of view, I want to share with you the pictures I made of the
Buildings in Hong Kong
To the left: Bank of China, once the tallest Building of Hong Kong.
The sculpture, a gilded flower bauhinia, is 6 meters high. The major part is composed of a bauhinia on a base of red granite pillar on a pyramid.
The sculpture is deemed an important symbol for the Hong Kong people after the handover. On the second day of Chinese New Year and National Day of the People’s Republic of China, the square is lighted up by a firework show.
There were so many intriguing and fascinating horizons made by these buildings in Hong Kong, it was hard to choose, which to include here!

Have you been to Hong Kong? Which buildings fascinated you ? Why ?
Great photos for this challenge! Love the contrast between the modern in the first couple and the old in the last photo.
Thank you! Glad you liked the post and one of my intentions was to bring out this contrast between old and new Hong Kong! Btw still owe you the beautiful scenery from Lantau, am working in my pictures slowly slowly
I really enjoy your photography. Recently came back from Hong Kong and there are just so many photo opportunities everywhere.
Thank you! Yes, Hong Kong was intriguing – with regards to photography, cleanliness, administration, people, convenience – they can shame any Western country or city right now. In fact their metro system was copied by London. If you have been to London, did it occur to you, that they have metro cards were called oyster cards and in Hong Kong, the octopus card 🙂
Love the buildings in HK. I’m surprised there aren’t any accidents as awestruck tourists and (some) residents go around clicking everything in sight. There is soo much to capture!
There is indded so much to capture there!! Thank you
