Persongalleriet #729: Prague, Wednesday

March 12th, 2017.
A day filled with tourist activity number 1: SHOPPING! (sorry sight-seeing!)
In and out of stores, but we also got to see a lot of the city while walking from one shopping hotspot to another. And the subway gave me some more opportunities for streeting:

Prague is a very beautiful city and one example of that is its amazing cafés and restaurants. On this day, we had som tea/coffee and cake at Café Savoy on the "other" side of the river. What a beautiful place! The tea was immaculate and the Savoy cake was probably the best cake I've ever had!

Be well, everybody!

We took an early morning walk down to the river and Charles Bridge. Early morning means not too many tourists and it turned out this fact was not only used by us, but also the wedding photographers.

We returned to our hotel to enjoy the great breakfast and a shower before heading out to the modern art museum, Veletržní palác - Národní galerie v Praze.

This is me being inspired to try and create some art when at the museum.  :-)

After the museum we did the shopping thing for a while.

In the evening we went to a jazz club for some live music.

Be well, everybody!

Persongalleriet #718: Hong Kong, Tuesday

March 21st, 2017.
This was my bonus day! It started with me getting up early, at 5:20 a.m. and going out to the airport. Only to find out that my flight was delayed by 24 hours. Some practicalities and four hours later, I checked into my third HK hotel in as many weeks, in Tsim Sha Tsui. Couldn't have the room for another 5 hours, so naturally I went out streeting! It was a bright, sunny day with blue skies after all!

After a ferry trip to Hong Kong Island and some walking I found myself at the bottom of the Central-Mid-Levels escalator. Of course, I decided to go all the way up! This offered some opportunities for some different photographic perspectives.

Up there, I found mostly posh, residential high-rises and found a cab to get me down to sea level again. I took a walk from Central west towards Sheung Wan.

Thanks, Scandinavian Airlines, for this bonus day, the 21st of this trip!

Be well, everybody!

Persongalleriet #717: Hong Kong, Monday

March 20th, 2017.
The plan was to meet with my new found friend, Chan Chun Ming, at 1 p.m. This gave me some time for a morning walk as well. The sun was out properly, with a clear blue sky! For the first time on this three week trip! I walked the shopping streets of Tsim Sha Tsui with fresh inspiration, looking for patterns created by sun and shadow. And also just reacting to what I found out there.

I took time for a quick lunch and some rest before meeting Chan in the lobby of my hotel. He took me on a well planned tour of some very interesting Kowloon neighborhoods, with a focus on different market streets. From tourist markets to a wholesale fruit market. But first, the subway to get there!

Here's Chan!

Chan walked me back to my hotel where we wrapped it up at around 7 p.m.
A great day for me with a good eight hours on the streets! Thanks again Chan, for showing me Hong Kong!

Be well, everybody!
