Mysterious Ship


I always loved the way this colourful touring boat jumped out in this otherwise dull photograph.  The skyline is Hong Kong's southern shore of Victoria Bay and the Expo Promenade.  In 2006, we were walking the Kowloon Public Pier when I took this picture on what was an overcast grey day, the boat however seemed to just glow with colour.  If you are ever in Hong Kong this pier and the park that extends eastward along the shore, makes an excellent location for an evening stroll and to take in the Symphony of Lights.  The fireworks combined with the full building lighting displays on the southern shoreline are spectacular.
 
This is also an extremely busy waterway where boats and ships of all shapes, sizes and purpose are traversing east or westward.  I am shocked at how few vessels are actually in this shot, I got lucky.
 
This was the beginning of what has to be my favourite trip, I really must get back to explore more of Asia.
