“Where’s a free cab when you need one?”


I caught the above scene while touring the backstreets in the Central District in Hong Kong. I am not entirely sure why this particular street is full of the trademark red-and-white Hong Kong cabs; perhaps they are all queuing up to catch a fare someplace nearby. I thought initially that the long line of taxis along with the dramatic lighting made an interesting picture already, until this man pushing his cart of goods came coming down the slope. To me, it seemed as if he was unhappy that he was unable to find a cab willing to take him (although I think he wasn’t actually looking for a ride in the first place!).

Vessels

An old image from the past, taken with my Powershot G3…

Just what do these colourful tanks contain? I caught them sitting pretty on the back of a fishing boat while on a visit to Changi Jetty more than a year ago. I suspect that they contain fresh water supplies for the offshore islands of Singapore.

Life Is But A Walking Shadow


“Life Is But A Walking Shadow” … This is actually a quote from William Shakespeare’s Macbeth which one of my old friends would used to quote very often whenever he was in a philosophical mood. This became a theme for some of the silhouette pictures I took with my Powershot G3. This particular one was taken at Darling Harbour, Sydney, Australia in September last year. I like the effect of the clean silhouettes juxtaposed against the patterned pavement.
