this is so beautiful, i never cease to be amazed at how you make the commonplace seem so beautiful! i love the bright colours of the flowers juxtaposed with the conventional greys of the newspapers they’re wrapped in.
lovely! x

Nice garden indeed! I love all the newspaper wrapping, it makes the flowers stand out so much more than shiny cellophane or tissue paper.

I like the greyish color of your pics. Seems you climbed into a time maschine and you´ve been catapulted back to the seventies! :) The pictures of your travels are amazing.

i recently published some pics of my MALLORCA trip into my blog (inspired by you), take a look :)

HK is so beautiful from your eyes :P

Well, I have been there, still can imagine that from your fantastic photos, quite crowd and a little messy, but also has some meaning in it. :)

I quite like the taxi you took, unfortunately, still have imagine the taxi in the real HK
and barrels, even the woman’s ass in the last photo…

sooooo Chinese… hmmm… I am Chinese…

Anyway, just your photos are so romantic :P — is that French? ^-^

C’est d’une poësie ce marché aux fleurs. C’est d’un rare exotisme pour aujourd’hui et notre monde globalisé…cela fait juste rêver, la promesse d’un merveilleux été.

Etonnant et superbe !
J’adore la terrasse de la première image.
Et cette profusion, on a envie de plonger le nez contre l’écran pour respirer tes photos.
Merci Miss !

Oh my, what beautiful photos - i also loved the fish pics too!
Reminds me of HK when i’m visiting family. I absolutely adore the kitty pic above though.

Love your style, the colour/tone of your images girl, very Wong Kar Wai if he were to capture his films on photography! Would love to see your take on Wong Tai Sin temple or the Big Buddha on Lantau Island.

I was in Hongkong for a few days last year but somehow I seemed to miss this market. Such nice pictures, they make me want to travel to this wonderful city again. You are a very good photographer, I like the sharp/not sharp effects… And I think I have to take a look to some of my holidays photos now.

How long is your stay there?
