In February 2017, After a LONG day of travel, which included flying from Calgary-Vancouver-Hong Kong, I arrived at my hotel room.
I woke up at dawn the next morning, opened the window curtains, and this was the view that greeted me (Tai Kok Tsui area in Kowloon).

To me, this photo perfectly captures the ambience of Hong Kong, with its tightly packed 'thin' residential skyscrapers. This was my 3rd visit to Hong Kong, after being away for 11 years. Seeing this view got me excited and invigorated towards my first day of shooting the Hong Kong travel video. This was the first scene shot during the day for the travel video.

A short time later, I hailed a taxi, which took me to Victoria Peak's 'Lions Pavillion' for a beautiful early morning skyline view of Hong Kong. Since it was still early, I had the spot to myself, giving me precious time to set up the camera and capture the scene and the natural sounds. It was a perfect start to my 11-day film shoot of 'Asia's World City'.
