Holiday 2010

So far we have spent two days in Hong Kong and this is our fourth day in New Zealand.... Hong Kong was interesting, but jet lag spoilt my plans to photograph the harbour on the first night. The second night, we went to see the giant Budda at Ngong Ping and although I took some images, I'm not happy with the results as the sun was behind the Budda. When we left there we went to the Peak on Hong Kong Island, but arrived too late to see the light show over the harbour. The viewing platform is at the top of a building and we had to go up 8 (I think) long escalators to get to there. The view from the top is a breath taking view over the whole harbour, all lit up. I took a number of images, but they do not do the spectacle justice, so I won't put them up on my site. If you ever go to Hong Kong, make sure you go to the Peak - and be there before 8pm when the light show starts!


New Zealand is beautiful, although the weather is a little unsettled at the moment. The first couple of days it was dull, overcast and raining some of the time. Yesterday, we drove down to the glaciers and stopped at the Fox Glacier. The sun came out for a while and I managed to take some pictures. There is one in 'landscapes'....

Today it has been dull and overcast again, so no new photos. Hopefully tomorrow will be brighter....
