Posted by hugo poon (hong kong, Hong Kong) on 6 July 2008 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.

Showers, storms and even typhoons kept attacking since the beginning of this summer. So, when some blue sky and white clouds surprisingly appeared, I wouldn't let any shooting opportunity slip...:-)

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...

@Saeed: Thank you Saeed!!

A nice composition Hugo. It really gives the sense of height - the buildings are so tall, that the planes pass only metres above!

Was this near Tung Chung? I have friends on the 52nd floor of a similar apartment building in the area.

@IanSmith: Thanks Ian!! This height competition simply has no sign of stopping... BTW, this is a development at Pokfulam Road of Island West.

Ian Bramham from Manchester, United Kingdom

It's your addition of the plane that really gives this photo the edge Hugo...it gives a sense of drama and scale that transforms the sene!

A beautiful image, Hugo ... the plane is a real surprise above the repetition of the buildings' similar forms.

Observing from Local, United Kingdom

The buildings seem to be grouped together as if blowing the clouds up. Very good shot.
