Hot Smoggy Day at Waterfront Pavilion 天昏地暗海心亭

Hot Smoggy Day at Waterfront Pavilion


This pavilion extends into the sea from the famous Hoi Sham Rock and Fishtail Rock, which are located in Hoi Sham Park.  The rocks were originally on an island before the sixties but upon reclamation, the island is now part of the urban area of the city.  

The weather was smoggy today as a nearby typhoon brought hot dusty air into the city.  I tried to recreate the dull weather by using muddled colors on the sketch!

今日下午有空走到土瓜灣海心公園海心亭畫畫。由於香港今日正處於颱風潭美環流外圍,天氣悶熱並能見度低,天昏地暗!

以下補充一點關於海心島的資料:

一九六四年,土瓜灣填海,海心島自此同九龍半島相連。海心島行政上歸九龍城區。
海心島上有兩石,一海心石,一魚尾石。兩石係呢度名勝,舊時有座海心廟,又叫龍母廟。一九七一年填地,座廟剷平。家下該處係海心公園,而海心廟,就搬到區內北拱街。
海心島原有「龍母」壇,舊時漁民同水上人,都去參拜。除善信之外,海心廟舊時都係旅遊勝地,「魚尾石」至有名。填海之前,島對岸有艇,載人往返,「龍母」壇後尾移到下鄉道天后廟則邊,受善信祭祀。間廟宇係華人廟宇委員會管理。
