It's that time of the year when things slow down a little, and other things speed up. Well, the holidays bring about slowdown at work (I'm not in any sort of industry that picks up with consumer spending) and that is a good opportunity to rust off my camera and look for some good time. It is also a very good time to take a look back at the years gone by (like the 2006 gallery linked on left)
Here in Hong Kong, the holidays are often extended. The Chinese New Year (CNY) just follows the the christmas and New Year celebrations. It is a 3-5 day extragavenza which is going to bring Hong Kong to a pleasent standstill during the last week of january (it usually falls in late january to early february and is based on the lunar calendar). More than I recall the glitter of christmas and new year from the past, I recall the 3 day CNY fun (I have only been in Hong Kong to witness it once). This year I will again look forward to the CNY Parade, some breathtaking fireworks and pyrotechnics and the famous flower market at Victoria Park
Some galleries from past years to inspire me pick up my camera.... hoping that I will only improve this time
