Concrete Jungle
|  With very limited land on a hilly island, the HK side is much more packed with tall buildings than the Kowloon peninsula. Shorter,  older buildings such as those in the foreground are giving way to skyscrapers. And there seems to be an ongoing competition among the skyscrapers to be taller to get a bit of open view, or if lucky, a sliver of harbor view. I took this photo in SoHo, an area with interesting contrasts of old and new, east and west as you can also see in my previous post Trendily Traditional. Tags:  |
