The Other Side of Lamma (南丫的另一面)

Lamma Island is the 3rd largest island in Hong Kong, smaller only than Lantao and Hong Kong island,  well worth more than one visit.

On my way again!

 
 Clouds over Western

Approaching southern Lamma.

Sok Kwu Wan

 
The Ferry Pier

Dragon Boats without the dragons

Fish rearing rafts

Flower on the way to Mo Tat Wan

An abandoned house

 
traditional wooden water barrel

Purple Melon Protection

Banana flower

Roadside pond

approaching Mo Tat Wan

A row of 8 abandoned house of the former Yung Shue Ha Village of the Chau family whose ancestors came from Po On County just across the border two centuries ago. The famous actor Chau Yun Fat came from this family.

A monument at the head of the old village

Rocks at one side of Mo Tat Wan

Part of the beach

Another view of the beach

the other side of the beach

the water is clear

Shek Pai Wan

the same beach from the other side

same beach, different angle

The tide is low

Another abandoned house

the former stove?

Going up the hill



Looking back at the beach

The way up

Clouds over the hill

Deep into the mountains back to Sok Kwu Wan

The side of the path is thick with vegetation

The path between bamboos

Some are half fallen

Some coffee cakes back at Sok Kwu Wan

The feet beneath a bar bench

Shadows on the way to the pier 

 

Pennants for dragon boats fluttering in the wind

The new ferry Pier

25th Anniversary of the Promulgation of the Basic Law? Cause for celebration or  serious reflection? Will the ball of so-called "universal suffrage" be shot into the ring?

Whether the ball will go in or just hit the rim of the ring and bounce back, this woman thinks it's more profitable to take advantage of the low tide to to pick some shell fish

and this grandpa thinks it more worth his trouble playing with this Hong Kong Yacht which he built with his own hands

and water under the pier stays as green as ever.

Time for a last look at Sok Kwu Wan before ferry arrives

Clouds above the Bay

Clouds further afield

Clouds over Hong Kong

Not all white

Will they clear before the proposed new legislation over our new election laws are due to be passed or rejected ?

There seems to be an opening in the clouds

But as we approach Western District, the clouds seems much thicker

 

When we look North, it looks really dark

A tug boat, tugging at what?

Clouds over Western District

White above, dark below

It's the same as we approach Central

If the clouds are any indication, the prospects doesn't look good over Central either
