Bruce Lee - Hong Kong Harbour
My visit to Hong Kong was overcast at the best: wet much the time. I was staying in the Shangri La hotel in Kowloon, near the Tsim Tsa station. I’d caught the ferry back over the harbour and by the time I reached Kowloon the weather was finally starting to clear. I walked past the Cultural Centre and along the Avenue of Stars. I am not a Bruce Lee fan but it is an attractive statue and it made a wonderful photo. Of course, without the earlier rain, the air across Hong Kong Harbour wouldn’t have been so clear. There is a silver lining to every cloud – sometimes only after it has moved away though!
It’s a shame about the railings. I could Photoshop them out, but that always feels like cheating to somebody who was brought up on 35mm. I’ll take out red eye and adjust for basic exposure settings but I dislike playing with the content.
It’s actually a rather famous statue with its own Wikipedia entry. The unveiling was the source of mad excitement as you can see in these pictures.
