Lonely fishing boat Photo

Photographer’s Note

It is a cloudy and windy day in Hong Kong after a heavy rain. I vitoria harhour, a lonely fishing boat is acrossing. It seems it get lost in this rapid developed metropolitan.

Hong Kong was a fihsing village in hundred years ago. In the past 30 years, the economy is growthing fast and become the 4-small draong in Asia apart from Korea, Singapore and Taiwan. Fishing is a sunset industry. However, sometimes we can still see few fishman in the harbour. Together with the high rised building, it tells you the hitory of Hong Kong in the past 30 years.

Although it might be a bit to grainy, I think you created a great atmosphere. The fisherboat almost looks a bit lost in front of these huge towers. Thanks for sharing, Mike

I love the atmosphere created by all those clouds and fog on the background, and despite of that the IFC II and all the skycrappers on the foreground are still entirely visible !
(I was there one foggy day like this, but we could see nothing at all)
So well done !
