Gas station

#Megahit 個 MV 個 #油站！

I usually don’t capture things that can move because of my very slow speed, but I got no problem with this #gasstation cause taxis and other cars simply lineup here non-stop for refill.

Ap Lei Chau Waterfront

First time to the #ApLeiChau #waterfront this morning.

I was sketching the “trash boat” (#boat collecting garbage in water) but it sailed away before I even applied ink! So I turned around to catch something that would not be moving anywhere -- the platform for boarding #pontoon to #Aberdeen. Its “Lego” colour scheme made the seldom-use colours finally became handy.

Sau Kei Wan Typhoon Shelter

This weekend is also busy but not so busy, and so I went a station away yesterday to sketch the Sau Kei Wan Typhoon Shelter. Met some kids and some grannies. If I have to pick a not so happy thing yesterday afternoon, it would be a granny stood beside me for quite a while that I couldn’t sing aloud!

The Memorial Shrine

The City Hall Memorial Shrine was built in memory of the glorious dead in the war years between 1941 and 1945. Inside the 12-sided Shrine are placed a Roll of Honours and wreaths. On the wall were inscribed these words: “These had seen movement and heard music; known slumber and waking; loved; gone proudly friended”.
