Peace!, a photo from Hong Kong, South

Photographer's Note

Schoolchildren in Hong Kong. I took several pictures of school kids in China and Japan and they were always wearing uniforms, and almost always flashed the peace symbol. It was just one of those great moments where you are able to have a smile and communicate despite the language barrier.
I left room at the top of the photo to show the HK skyline but it was too hazy to come out.

I always enjoy photos like these of young people. They seem very polite and well-behaved. It's always comforting to me to know that there are still young adults like this in the world.

Nice shot- I like how there are so many different people to look at. The guy on the end looks happy- maybe b/c there are so many girls with him. ;) They all look very pleasant.
Good Job

Nice photo and very good point of view. I am surprised how similar it looks to Japan.

Hi Tootsie,

I've really enjoyed looking at all of your photos from China, I like this one very much. They all look so happy and friendly, I can't imagine many places in the UK where you would get this kind of reaction when photographing a group of schoolkids...

It is a shame it was so hazy. You can kind of make out the skyline in the background, but not much, still, great picture.
