If this is too much an abstraction, here's a 'better' view of this interesting architecture: http://www.pbase.com/hpicckcy/image/118768102/original

Victoria Peak, Hong Kong

We just have had the Double Ninth Festival, a traditional Chinese festival during which it's a custom to climb a high mountain... The family decided to visit the Peak (Victoria Peak) for dinner. It's a wonderful evening and the atmosphere was so nice...

I do not regard myself as a photographer. I'm merely a guy who enjoys capturing all the memorable scenes that I encounter in my everyday life. Perhaps, it's like a traveller hoping to record his memorable journey, but in my case, it's the journey of my life ... If I can record my encounters in such a way that they leave an image on the mind of myself and other viewers, it's a tremendous joy and some accomplishment...
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...
