40~ Attached- Like the book, or not.
Many years ago, Hong Kong used to have a bad name, “concrete forest”. Meaning, a crowded high-rise with minimal greenery. It has been improved since 1997, and I must give credit to the experienced green fingers from China.
Wherever I discover a scenario like this, it reminds me of the concrete forest, but in another form; trees' roots attached to the nearby concrete structure are quite common. The most famous spot is located in the West District on Hong Kong Island.
I found this spot at Tuen Mun, the one below* is the whole picture. But I chose to submit this close-up shot that brings out a stronger message of ‘Attached’. And I like their neutral grey merging as one, it seems.
41~ Rain Rain Go Away- Interpret that as you will.
It was early morning, while I was awake in a hotel, looking for a sunny day to travel around Cheung Chau. However, I was disappointed by the sudden rain shower that had fallen overnight.
