Kowloon City Hau Wong Temple 九龍城侯王廟

建於二百多年前，侯王廟究竟供奉誰人，說法不一。晚清學者陳伯陶指該廟供奉的侯王爲南宋功臣楊亮節，另一說法認爲侯王是一位曾爲宋帝昺治癒失眠症的楊姓村民。還有人認爲侯王是曾協助宋兵抗元的楊姓人家祖先。侯王廟大殿門前兩旁放了十六支鎗茅，桿端尖刃有精美妝飾，其中八支是八仙法器，另外八支則不詳。畫完大殿門廊，我選擇畫了八支較精美但不知其妝飾所指的鎗茅。

The temple was built more than 200 years ago. It was thought that the temple was dedicated to a war general named Yeung Leung Jit but no one is sure nowadays. There are a lot of historic relics inside the temple. After sketching the entrance corridor, I included the spearheads of eight of the sixteen beautifully-crafted spears placed on both sides of the temple corridor. They might be symbols depicting the Eight Immortals often times depicted in Classical Chinese literature but I'm not completely sure.

Eslite Spectrum Tsim Sha Tsui Store 誠品生活尖沙咀店

A fun sketch session with a group of happy urban sketchers inside the cozy Eslite Spectrum Tsim Sha Tsui Store. I chose this particular spot where I could sketch the rows of bookshelves on the left , the people reading right in front of me and the Victoria Harbour outside the window.

一班速寫人共聚尖沙咀誠品。 我安坐牆邊，畫了眼前書櫃，讀者與維多利亞港海景。

Sai Kung Cow No.40 流浪牛西貢四十

This is one of the feral cows in the Sai Kung area.  The cows used to be working cows once but as most farmers gave up farming in Hong Kong, these cows became free animals, roaming the hills and lowlands in the Sai Kung District.

Sketching Mid-Autumn Lanterns 中秋將至畫燈籠

Mid Autumn Festival is coming. Time to sketch all these beautiful traditional and modern lanterns for sale. Many Hongkongers would buy lanterns for their kids to play with. However shops selling handmade lanterns are becoming increasingly rare. How nice it would be if more people can make a living by selling handmade items. 

Queen's Road West, Sai Ying Pun, Hong Kong

中秋將至係畫燈籠的好時機!  西營盤皇后大道西還有幾間賣手製傳統燈籠的舖頭，今日上午同畫友前來特地捕捉此情此景。如果香港多些人可以靠賣手藝為生，你話幾好呢!
