2009 China – Hong Kong

Perhaps the most vibrant city in Asia. Really cool place. Great food, good looking women, shopping, and endless views.

Go and see for yourself and have a Cuban cigar at the lounge in the Sheraton on Nathan Road. Take the Star Ferry around and catch the 8pm light show across the harbor.

Victoria Peak is the best view if the clouds are gone and the people at Nobu and Bubba Gump’s are very nice.

Getting the GigaPan ready for the shot. It was a waisted effort because the city disappeared in the clouds.

I carried fourteen pounds of photo equipment about two miles.
The city from the peak. It disappeared just after this.

I am using the pay telescope on Victoria Peak before the clouds sock the view in.
We are in Kowloon. Hong Kong island is across the bay.
Nathan Road is the main shopping and activity road on the Kowloon side.

It looks big because it is. They can host almost 2,000 guests a day.
