Lest we forget

//The City Hall Memorial Garden 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".//

On Remembrance Day and always, lest we forget.

Sketching season begins!

From Cityplaza to Kai Tak Cruise Terminal, if you can find it...

Accidentally started the fall sketching season. Not sure when will be the next time due to the uncontrolable schedule.
