This photo taken by Mike Clarke during the Cheung Yeung Festival shows Chinese family members paying tribute to their ancestors at a local cemetery in Hong Kong. I don’t recall seeing any cemeteries in person when I was in Hong Kong, but if I saw any like the one above, you can bet I would have done a double-take. Are most Hong Kong cemeteries like this? If so, that’s sort of awesome from a visual point of view.
111VOX is selling this nice T-shirt that highlights the 3 different kinds of taxi cabs you will encounter as you go from one island to the next in Hong Kong. Each cab is dedicated to one island and riding one color into another’s territory isn’t allowed. I want it: $27 USD.
I remember when I was in Hong Kong last summer, I kept seeing these rounded corner buildings and I thought that they looked really weird but kinda neat. I guess there’s so many of them because the planning of the streets in Hong Kong aren’t necessarily hard corners like they are in Manhattan and some other more modern cities.
Anyway, it turns out that there’s quite a lot of these rounded corner houses/buildings and Michael Wolf has photographed a good number of them in his series. Check it out if you’ve got some time. I really should take this downtime in my career to plan a trip back to Hong Kong. I wasn’t there nearly as long as I wanted to be last summer.
Photo Journal posted this fantastic photo of a sculpture by Chinese artist Mu Boyan called “Nude No. 2″. The sculpture is located at the Hong Kong International Art Fair in Hong Kong.
