Wonderful photos, two very beautiful city. I was in San Francisco last year and took shots from the other side. I'll have to head for China Beach next time to get this different perspective. I have never been to Hong Kong though my husband has way back when. He has always said he would like to take me there one day.

Thanks for stopping by :)

Hong Kong is such a beautiful place. I just love the harbour views.
I never know if I'd rather look at pictures of places we've been or places we haven't. Your lovely post covered both bases! Enjoyed it all.
the last photo is my favourite today. :) but all of your places are so beautiful - I wish, I could see them with my own eyes ...

I wish you all the best for your new haiku-book!! it looks really beautiful.

have a wonderful weekend,

isabella

These pictures are great. I like bridges of all kinds. The Golden Gate Bridge is one of the best. This makes me wish there was a good place to get pictures of our Ambassador Bridge here.
