This past weekend I visited two places in Hong Kong for the first time. Despite the places being new for me, much of what the people were doing I had seen before in Hong Kong.
For example, at the Victoria Peak Garden on Hong Kong Island I saw wedding photography ...
... and bird photography.
And at the King George V Memorial Park in Kowloon I saw dance routines ...
... and kids on a swing set.
Of these four scenes, only the bird photographers surprised me. I had seen a similar group of bird photographers with pricey cameras and lenses at a park in Tsuen Wan, Hong Kong, but it wasn't until I visited Victoria Peak Park that I suspected birding was not uncommon in Hong Kong. For some examples and thoughts on the apparent growing popularity of bird photography in Hong Kong see a recent blog post with photos of birds and birders by John Holmes here.
