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.

Vertical jump out of the pool

BJ here can jump 3 feet out of the water and onto the pool’s edge without using his hands. Can you? I don’t think I can. I don’t even think I’d get close. Jumping out of the water like that is pretty hard.
