The Peninsula 半島酒店

The Peninsula, Hong Kong

With the presence of the bamboo art installation, the whole composition became much more interesting. 


From Wikipedia:
The Peninsula Hong Kong (Chinese香港半島酒店), located in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong, is the flagship property of the The Peninsula Hotels group. Opened in 1928, and expanded in 1994, the hotel combines colonial and modern elements, and is notable for its large fleet of Rolls-Royces painted the distinctive "Peninsula green".

Warm Winter Day at Choi Hung Estate 冬日彩虹邨

Warm Winter Day at Choi Hung Estate

One of the oldest public estates built by the British-Hong Kong Government, Choi Hung Estate was designed by Palmer & Turner Group and was built between 1962 and 1964. The estate was well-designed and forms a quiet space in itself in the otherwise noisy urban landscape.  

Beddings hung under the warm winter sun in the estate's playground,  a familiar sight back in the seventies and eighties.

彩虹邨係港英年代巴馬丹拿建築及工程師有限公司設計, 各樓宇由1962年至1964年間分期落成。屋邨係鬧市中自成一角,邨內環境清幽,實而不華。

暖陽下曬床單,仿忽時光倒流,返咗去細路時係屋邨見到嘅景象!

5-Day Sketch Challenge Day 5 : San Po Kong 五日速寫大挑戰 第五日: 遊走新蒲崗

5-Day Sketch Challenge Day 5: Iconic Plastic Wares Factory Building

The last day of my five-day sketch challenge!   I wandered around San Po Kong and sketched the following. The first sketch was the iconic plastic wares company factory building which has been around since the 70s, the second one is a lonely stone fence of a playground facing a wall of a tenement building, and the third one a Chiu Chou food stall. 

It's an interesting experience really as the limited time available each day forced me to pick up scenes that I otherwise would not sketch. Good lesson for me!

比畫友提名連畫五日畫,每日三張,「五日速寫大挑戰」最後一日啦!第一張係新蒲崗紅A,第二張係唐樓間嘅公園仔畫嘅,最後一張畫一間潮州食店。

Lion Rock on the First Day of 2015 獅子山2015的第一日

Lion Rock on First day of 2015

The first day of 2015, I decided to sketch something symbolic!  I spotted this view of Lion Rock between buildings and trees and settled there and started sketching.  Besides sketching the scene, I also added the huge yellow banner calling for universal suffrage for Hong Kong, which was hung there a few days ago.  Hong Kong, it's time to stand up and make yourself a nation state!

2015第一日想畫張特別啲嘅畫。行經新蒲崗永顯工業大廈,見獅子山遠處聳立,就囉畫具出里畫,畫時加埋早幾日掛係山上黃色嘅大banner,喻意香港首長,立法會全面普選,港人治港,城邦建國。
