Tao Fong Shan
True to its roots as a place for inter-faith dialogue between Buddhists and Christians, Tao Fong Shan remains to be a quiet retreat among the busyness of Hong Kong, welcoming pilgrims of all faiths, to converse, to reflect, and to gain a deeper meaning of life.

Occupy Central and… What’s Next…?
Yesterday night, the Occupy Central community organized a music festival to greet the eviction order handed to them by the High Court. Lots of youngsters vented their emotions via loud music.
Youngsters enjoy in the music festival. At 10-month, it may be one of the longest continuously running Occupy movements in the world. Many others had been put to stop, gone into hibernation from time to time, or become protests that are being held at regular intervals instead.

Tsim Sha Tsui
Some random handheld shots in Tsim Sha Tsui and Hung Hom.
Though the newer RAW engines do wonders in noise reduction for high ISO shots, perhaps I should still bring a tripod next time.
