Hong Kong Skylines

Looking north from Victoria Peak on Hong Kong Island during the nightly "Symphony of Lights," in which a ton of electricity is spent wowing tourists. I prefer the static glow of a night skyline, which is pretty much what you see here. Victoria Harbour in the middle separates Hong Kong Island (lower part of image) from Kowloon.


View south from my office building. Hong Kong Island is incredibly dense partly due to the fact that it's shoved right up against a mountain, which limits any sprawl. I love how these buildings all seem to sit right on top of each other, while those lucky few structures get to stretch their legs on top of the mountain.




The Admiralty district of Hong Kong Island from across the harbor in Kowloon. Anyone who's anyone has a giant logo up on their building.


View of the Central district of Hong Kong Island from across the harbor in Kowloon. The big one is Two International Finance Center (which Batman jumped from in The Dark Knight). The littler version to its right is One IFC. One of those facing windows in One IFC would have been my desk.


Looking across Victoria Harbour from my desk in One IFC. It was almost always hazy, but this day was particularly blue-gray.
