“Photo of the Month” for December features two photos, both from me and our son’s trip to Hong Kong. It’s my 9th visit there, but the first time since 2017. Actually, the main purpose of visiting Hong Kong was to watch a football (soccer) match, as our Tampines Rovers (Singapore) played an Asian Champions League (ACL2) match against Hong Kong’s Lee Man FC (which ended 0-0 😓). There were around 10+ people flying from Singapore to support the team, and we were two of them. 😅

We stayed in Hong Kong for five nights, so except for the day we went for the football match, we spent the remaining four evenings shooting their beautiful cityscapes. Luckily, I got mostly sunny weather this time (quite rare in Hong Kong!) but still faced other challenges, like being too hazy at The Peak and the water being too choppy at Victoria Harbour (not good for capturing reflections on the water).

To me, Hong Kong is like a cityscape paradise, so my dream is to live there for a few months once I retire and shoot as many satisfactory photos as possible. 😀
