The photos are very sharp and interesting. What seems like a million years ago now...I was invited to HK by a friend's mum who was living out there. This was before the handover. Friend's parents were in advertising so it would a been one hell of a swell joint (so to speak)...ah well. Don't have many regrets but that is one of them. Might get out there yet if I do get to see some Oz cricket!Hadriana's Treasureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03740533954842010870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7110266514688952362.post-82823495783235561492008-12-30T20:42:00.000+00:002008-12-30T20:42:00.000+00:00looks like scarborough with more chinese restauran...looks like scarborough with more chinese restaurants and different colour fog to me troy, but anyway, happy new year to youArthur Clewleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09899298157515419564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7110266514688952362.post-20109762256949605952008-12-30T11:03:00.000+00:002008-12-30T11:03:00.000+00:00Trixie - there is definitely smog and pollution wh...Trixie - there is definitely smog and pollution which makes the views hazy but strangely I couldn't smell it or otherwise sense it at ground level.<BR/><BR/>LWM - thanks for the award, I've already got it displayed proudly on the blog.<BR/><BR/>Carol - yes it impressive at 78. The young lady supervising the ride was concerned as to whether he had a heart problem or back problem.

I've always been interested in photography since about the age of 9. I'll take a look at those photo blogs. Hopefully the concern re the Alzheimers is needless but it is so nasty for the carer that I can understand Mrs Troy's worry.Troyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05279890687481412751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7110266514688952362.post-39295203140298603732008-12-29T07:42:00.000+00:002008-12-29T07:42:00.000+00:00I've just noticed the photos in your sidebar.

Have you hooked up with any of the photo blogs? try Gerald England's (in my sidebar on Chez Aspie) as he is part of an imense photo blog network. I had no idea Mrs Troy was worried about you getting Altzheimers because you looked like your mom (though I guess she would be worried anyway) but is there some research proving that there is a genetic link between parental/offspring looks and mental capacity?DJ Kirkbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08481107164497582398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7110266514688952362.post-86330513312795350652008-12-28T17:18:00.000+00:002008-12-28T17:18:00.000+00:00I have always wanted to go to HK... nice to see it...I have always wanted to go to HK... nice to see it through your pics and description.
