An Offering on Return

This blog has clearly been on its way to the funeral pyre judging from the amount of posts I have made since my return from the Himalayas earlier this year, but I've just been too busy to go shoot, edit and post photos. But here I am! I've just finished sorting images from Shau Kei Wan and the Hong Kong Museum of Coastal Defence that I went to back in December - been a while, hey? It felt good to do some photo work and even though the results were not as good as I expected, I still had fun just being a little more creative than cutting out little flowers from crepe paper.

So... The first set of images that I've uploaded to Flickr are from some of the temples that surround the Shau Kei Wan area. Shau Kei Wan, being one of the oldest fishing communities on Hong Kong Island is host to some of the island's oldest temples, the record being taken by the Tin Hau Temple. There's nothing incredibly special about the temples other than their age, nor is there anything incredible about the area, except for its history, but it was still a nice peaceful walk.
