Misc Pictures Taken in Hong Kong

A Day On The Beach 1/3
A few snap shots in the Wu Kai Sha beach.
The beach is not exactly sandy and quite small. Almost all visitors are 'locals'.
Ma On Shan is a new town that has grown with a tried-and-true formula.
The government would first build subsidized housing, thus moving a large and general low income population to the new town. After a few years, the area would have enough shops, roads, schools, playgrounds, and other supporting facilities. Then the governement would start to auction off the prime waterfront sites at high price for private development.

A Day On The Beach 2/3
The beach is at the head of a bicycle trail, so lots of visiters came by bikes.
Some kids mounted loud speakers and amplifiers to their bike, which bacame a moving boombox.

A Day On The Beach 3/3
The pier that used to be the only access to Wu Kai Sha is under renovation.
The wages in Hong Kong are getting so high that local Chinese are no longer interested in construction jobs. Lots of the construction workers are either local South Asian minorities or imported from mainland China.
In the last two years when the economy was at a very low point, some politicians talked about trying to bring back manufacturing and construction jobs back to Hong Kong people.
Unfortunately I think the times has long gone for manufacturing in Hong Kong. The clock cannot be turned back.
Hong Kong people not only need to adapted to the structural changes in the economy, equally important they need to accept the new yet very old identity.
In my opinion, it was the confusion of identity that is the core problem in Hong Kong.
In good times, the problem is masked and everyone is happy. But when the bad time comes, the problem surfaced and manifest in a thousand new faces.
How can you embrace changes and appeciate what you have, if you don't know who you are and with whom your fate is tied.

C171 Red Fireball
On my last trip to the Sha Tin Race Course (see Cathay Pacific International Races 國泰航空香港國際賽,) I saw up close the power and excitment of horse racing. So I decided to visit the track in the morning to check out the horse work out.
The track work starts at 5am. Some horses will just trot while others gallop.
This horse was playing with its tongue with slowly gallopping. Perhaps a tongue tie is needed.

Jockeys
Every Tuesday and Friday morning there are barrier trials on dirt. And Twice a month the Jockey Club will have barrier trials on turf. And today is one of the two days for the month. Lucky me.
The jockeys and their horses are moving toward the barrier gate.
Delpech wasn't very happy that I was getting so close on the rail to take pictures.
