A more ordinary angle shot to show how this spectacular flyover is like.
Hill Road Flyover, Hong Kong
I do not regard myself as a photographer... I'm just a guy who enjoys capturing all the memorable scenes that I encounter in my life, my everyday life, with whatever photo machine I've got. Perhaps, it's like a traveller hoping to record his memorable journey, but in my case, it's the journey of my life ...
In terms of photography, I'm trying to preserve the moments as my eyes see "something" and my heart feels it too. As such, I seldom feel interested in planned, arranged or manipulated photographs...

This fly-over is wild, Hugo. Thank you for the second view. Having the person in the foreground gives the image scale and the do-not-enter signs add interest and color. Nice.

@Shun: Thanks again Shun! I guess you're just right.:-)
It is amazing the way it wiggles through the neighbourhoods. I love the sense of movement and contrast.

@Michael Skorulski: Thank you Michael!!! It's quite a construction, isn't it...
that's some engineering :-) and I love how the guy in front seems to be thinking: 'who the f*k came up with this idea?' great photo.
