my fav street & the "neon light skyscraper" (ii)

Peel Street and The Center

Was following the track of the young lady in the previous pic, but this sight had stopped me...

And it's time to go home

Peel Street, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong

Had been photographing some most familiar places with a "new camera" that a good friend let me play with...

I do not regard myself as a photographer. I'm an ordinary man but extraordinarily obsessed with capturing all the memorable scenes that I encounter in my everyday life. It's like an excited traveller craving to record his memorable journey in a memorable way, 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...

This is a stunner. I can see why it was enough to even take your mind off the girl. ;-)
It just takes my breath away.....and my words. Bravo.

A city of contrasts: the warm ambiance of the street and the blue, cold, look of the tall building.

Wow, what a fantastic image! I love your long tall composition along with the skyscraper. Your light is exquisite as always! Fantastic balance between the reflecting last light of the sky in the tall building and the already glowing night lights of the street. Excellent!

What a fantastic illumination and colors! A delightful image with a wonderful combination of very different types of light. The blueish tonality of the sunset above and the artificial and colorful bottom. Marvelous image that absorbs the eyes.
