Sketching a Gas Storage Facility from a Restaurant 茶餐廳內畫土瓜灣煤氣廠

Sketching a Gas Storage Facility from a Restaurant


Time to sketch huge industrial structures and today I went to To Kwa Wan, an old residential area next to the now defunct Kai Tak Airport.  The facility is sitting right in the heart of To Kwa Wan, tightly surrounded by old residential blocks.  I sketched this gas storage facility inside an old but air-conditioned restaurant where I could hide from the scorching summer heat.  

今日走到 Towngas 土瓜灣的煤氣廠畫大型工業建築。煤氣廠位處土瓜灣心藏,緊緊被舊唐樓包圍,都可以話喺香港特色!  今日天氣悶熱,煤氣廠一帶馬路又沙塵滾滾,好在煤氣廠對面有一間開大冷氣又有大玻璃窗的茶餐廳,否則都幾難慢畫。

  1. That's certainly a landmark of To Kwa Wan. Many building in that area are being torn down. however that gas storage plant will be staying there forever
