A Poets View

Victoria Harbor in the evening is absolutely stunning.  I had never seen such beautiful sunsets until I traveled to Hong Kong.  All of these photos were taken during my last trip in March of this year 2008.

On my first day there I freshened up after dinner and took the Star Ferry over to Kowloon to do some sightseeing along Avenue of the Stars and when I exited the ferry and began to walk along the promenade this is the scene that mesmerized me.  Victoria Harbor is one of the largest harbors in the world and also one of the busiest.  There was a Royal Caribbean cruise ship docked there as well as the Star Ferry Cruise line ship.  It was such a beautiful sight that it brought tears to me.  I was overwhelmed not only with the beauty of it all but the fact that I was there in my home away from home.

The promenade along the waterfront where the Avenue of Stars is located and is shown on the right side of this photo is one of my favorite spots in Hong Kong day and night.  This is also the place for shutterbugs.  The dramatics of the cloud cover in this scene is breathtaking especially when you experience it in person.  Just beautiful.On my last night in Hong Kong I took the Star Ferry over to Kowloon to meet my friend for dinner and drinks at The InterContinental Hotel.  As I was walking up through the garden pathway to the hotel I had to stop and view this gorgeous sunset.  From this vantage point you could see the promenade, a portion of the hotel to your right and Hong Kong Island to your left along with the IFC building - the tallest in Hong Kong.  I tried to get as much in this shot as I could.  Hong Kong sunsets are spectacular.

I also have San Francisco sunsets posted on My City By The Bay blog at http://insanfrancisco.today.com  Enjoy!
