Nature and City

Hello My Dear Great Ones,

One of the things I love about Hong Kong is the access to nature.  Seventy-five percent 75%! of Hong Kong's 1100 sq km is natural.  And when you add roads, urban parks etc that leaves 15 % of the territory to be inhabited by people.  Over 7 million to be exact. No wonder Hong Kong has so many high rises and housing is the most expensive in the World.  Nevertheless I love the natural.  Celia and I went for a meander up and along Lion Rock a few weeks ago.  The walk to Lion Rock is a beaut and the views are worth the effort.

 Asian safety standards are pretty slack.  No way I am going on the "Lion's Head."

 Kowloon.  A Hong Kong "suburb," of 2.25 million people.

 Shatin.  A "suburb" of Hong Kong.  Home to 600 000.

 Celia posing for me high near Lion's Rock.  No worries it looks a lot more dangerous than it is.

Most of these buildings are home to thousands of people.

 Nature meets city.

And now some pictures/movies from Celia's iphone!

 Kowloon!

 Shatin again.

Yeah yeah I know what you are thinking.  Celia's pictures are great!  And very clear.  Great promo for the iphone.  And the photographer.

Have a great week!

Love adios and ping on!
