Hong Kong is a busy place. Departing Aberdeen, I spotted these two rowing away.
Po Toi is full of interesting rock formations.
A great wide perspective.
A path for the eye to follow. Love the sign on the right part of the horizon.
Solitude.

Po Toi Island – Part One
On December 31, 2011, I took my Nikon D3100 and two lenses (18-55mm & 55-300mm) to Po Toi Island, just south of Hong Kong island.
The island has something like 20 permanent residents. Only one ferry goes to the island each day. The island residents plus everyone on the ferry will be the only people with you on the island. Most people (guailo in particular) stay clear of the hiking trails so it was a very solitary and peaceful experience out there.
I highly recommend it.
Bird flying on water. Taken from ferry from Aberdeen.
Some post-processing to hit the older style of photography, particularly for that “Oriental look” common in historical photographs taken by Western members of Chinese society.
Grave site. Haunting and beautiful.
Rocks on the harbor.
Coming into port. De-saturated color effects.
In the coming days and weeks, I will post more photos from Po Toi, especially images from the mountains and beaches.
Yours,
Kevin
