Memories of that Hong Kong night:
- Getting bored with that one observation terrace on Victoria Peak.
- Getting off the terrace to sit in a cafe.
- Writing a Bruce Lee postcard to my brother.
- Being the only guest.
- Rolling stones through the speakers:
“How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?”
- Wondering how it feels.
- Not coming to a conclusion.
- Getting out realizing how much there is to explore on the peak, just a few steps from where all the tourists are.
- Walking through the dark with an ocean of lights below my feet.
- Deciding that it feels good.
- Taking this picture.
End of memories.

Really cool night shot with tons of atmosphere.
Thanks man! Glad you like it.
Great shot! I like the mood.
- Wondering how it looks… like a Yellow Submarine or more like a Vogon Utility Space Cruiser?
- Not coming to a conclusion.
- Deciding that it is, however, fascinating to explore.
Like the effect of ambient light and shadow play on the surface. Astonishing that split between preserved and super-modern architecture – like two worlds. And an amusing written backstory anyways.
That’s more than I remember from most of my pictures combined…
Great shot!
I like the story you wrote. It's much better than the short one on facebook.. ;O)
Haha! Patrick, I would start being concerned.
I really enjoyed the context you describe. I can imagine this kind of situation. The picture at the end reflect your mood. Good shot.
