We all came back when I was 2 but my older brother and younger sister were born here. For me it's home though, having lived here for all but 3 months in Germany in 1993/4 and 18 months in Tenerife from mid 1999 to early 2001.<BR/><BR/>I love that old and new picture....it almost looks as though the new buildings are from a black and white photo transposed onto this one....but it's the actual photo, the lovely warm hues of the older buildings contrast so wonderfully with the colder steel and glass of the new skyscrapers.<BR/><BR/>The two older buildings are:<BR/><BR/>The one with the dome is our old law court building, now the seat of our 'government', the Legislative Council. The other taller square one is the precursor to the very angular building on the left - both are Bank of China.Fionahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00727596416170770024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30724218.post-1155778101027348642006-08-17T09:28:00.000+08:002006-08-17T09:28:00.000+08:00These are breathtaking, what a lovely city...as da...These are breathtaking, what a lovely city...as dayli said....another place on my HAVE to vist list!

These dolphins are thought to be an unique sub-species of the chinese white dolphin , a member of the indo - pacific humpback dolphin family. They are known for their bright pink colour. These dolphins are also found in small populations off the coast of China, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. Hong Kong dolphinwatch has been working since 1995 to increase the publics awareness of these dolphins plight.Fionahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00727596416170770024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30724218.post-1155703263190176852006-08-16T12:41:00.000+08:002006-08-16T12:41:00.000+08:00Wow, nice pictures...I've never heard of pink dolp...Wow, nice pictures...I've never heard of pink dolphins before.Miahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04627424780088354460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30724218.post-1155700436925984512006-08-16T11:53:00.000+08:002006-08-16T11:53:00.000+08:00I do too Steve - I love going up The Peak - the mo...I do too Steve - I love going up The Peak - the mountain overlooking the city, and watching day turn into night and the lights all coming on.<BR/><BR/>We have something quite unusual here, every night at 8pm, the skyscrapers take part in a light show...I'll see if I can find a pic and post it!Fionahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00727596416170770024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30724218.post-1155699464721293712006-08-16T11:37:00.000+08:002006-08-16T11:37:00.000+08:00It sure is pretty!
