Hong Kong Visa Run

[Ricopedra]

Living in Taiwan, I've got to from time to time, fly the coop to redo my visa. We made a memory out of this last run and had a good time in July - three days/two nights in a twice upgraded deal at the YMCA. No complaints here, man. Enjoy the show, from a night owl. Images by me.

Good night, sweet dreams....

[Illithid Dude]

Absolutely fascinating. This is the first photothread I have ever seen of Hong Kong that makes it look like an actual, livable city, and not a collection of towering high-rises. Incredible work.

[DetroitSky]

Excellent tour, thank you!

[diskojoe]

My kind of thread. Very interesting. Im with Illithid, it does bring a very human element to the city.

[Ricopedra]

Hey, thanks dudes! I'll post a few more from another run/ see how many are worthy. A city is its people. Power to you all....

Incredible.

[Kilgore Trout]

This pretty much captures the feel of Hong Kong in the summertime, minus the beaches. Nice work.

[hkskyline]

Intense!

[Ricopedra]

Thanks for the feedback. Yea, I missed the beaches. This pic shows about how close I got to them, minus the flyovers.

Next time some beaches and bikinis! (Which most folks don't think of when conjuring up images of the HK islands, and the sea, but they should)...
