Cyber Port

Although the Cyber Port had been around for quite some time but save for a dinner there with our Spanish teacher just before he went back to Spain, I haven't been there. So I decided to give it another look over. Our Cyber Port is a "joke". It was an obvious gift by our Government to the richest man in Hong Kong. As far as I am concerned, the only thing "cyber" about it is the "look" of its shopping arcade, which seems quite different from the run of the mill shopping arcades. The clouds outside it seem far more interesting.

This is my first view of the sky outside of the Cyber Port

There was a "garden" close by the seaside. But it was not very well maintained. There were hardly any flowers there. It looked more like just wasteland!

I was fascinated by the cloud formations.

They look as if there were waves of charged particles around our north pole.

More of the polar type of solar wind clouds.

I couldn't get enough of them



It seemed to be getting dark already and there was a clear split into the lower dark and the upper white clouds.

As it was quite late, the sun was about to set. One could see the tinges of yellow and orange creeping in close to the horizon.

It looked as if there were winds coming from different directions high up in the sky

It was magnificent.

The night was closing in fast.

Soon the clouds turned into a whorl.

Before long, the clouds had turned darker and darker and an anvil cloud appeared presaging perhaps some pretty drastic air current conditions.

a clam in the clouds?

Soon the orange got fainter and fainter as I reached the end of the park

The sky as I walked further and further towards the Shopping Arcade

Time to move out to have a bit of grub.

I was moving landward towards the buildings

My first sight of the pedestrian bridge leading to the Shopping Arcade

The canopy of the arcade

I went up into the terrace of the Shopping Arcade

I looked around

There were three floors of shops and restaurants. This is one of the steps leading to the first floor.

This is a window looking out on to the other buildings

There is a cinema inside the Shopping Arcade. This is the entrance.

There were many shops selling home furnishing, furniture etc.

A furniture shop

And a shop selling various types of artwork. But the needs of the stomache seemed vastly more urgent. So perhaps next time.
