It was such a fine day today… clear blue sky… relatively cool for a Hong Kong summer too!

Full Moon on the evening of June 9th, 2009:

June 11th, 2009 afternoon. The brooding sky over the water between Hong Kong and Lantau Islands. Neither got rain on in the end.

June 18th, 2009. Rosy fingered dusk… seen from my studio windows. Which format would you prefer? Horizontal or vertical?

The past week – especially during the weekend, Hong Kong has been assaulted by storms and typhoons. Fortunately most just skimming by although one particular typhoon went by quite close to Hong Kong. It was Pabuk Typhoon and it created quite a mess last Friday when the government suddenly hoisted the Typhoon Signal No.8 – sending everyone home from work and schools, resulting in packed MTR stations and bus stops. It took Timothy almost 3 hours to get home! Yiiikes! Not a weather to go out in, definitely!

Today there was a bit of sunshine – although in general it’s still very hazy and humid. Here’s a picture I took this afternoon: Hong Kong island was completely gone!

Compared with this one that I took a while ago when the weather was fine:

The weather forecast said there’ll be a new storm coming up on the 16th… Oh wellll… At least I’m working from home :).

The beauty of full moon never cease to fascinate and fill me with wonders. I managed to snap some pictures of the full moon recently and am pretty pleased with the result. It’s a good thing that I have my tripod always on the ready for things like this. And I’m so happy to finally be able to do some new scrapping! It feels like ages since the last time I did one!
