Photographer’s Note
This is another night shot I took while I was in Hong Kong.
The information below is taken from
Emporis.com
" A former British colony, taken by the British empire in the 19th century and handed back to China in 1997. Now a Special Administrative Region in the People's Republic of China, Hong Kong is a major seaport, financial center and the business hub of Asia.
The tiny portion of flat land available for construction (estimated to be around 200 sq. kms.) has led to a concentrated high-rise environment and very high population density. More than 85% of the population growth in Hong Kong Metro (1991-2001) has been within the New Territories.
Home for many business tycoons and giant companies as well as poor illegal immigrants, Hong Kong is a city of opportunities, extremities, and busy streetlife. "

Those colorful lights look like glistening jewels! I like how you composed this with the city looking like it's expanding out from a center point.
