    daily commute

    On working days I take a daily ferry from Discovery Bay to Hong Kong Island. It’s a 25 minute ride, and on a nice and clear day as today, the sights are great.

    I was too late to make this picture well, but two giant Maersk containerships were on their way out today. It was a nice angle, but before I got my camera phone ready, our high-speed ferry was already too far.

    Still makes a nice picture though:

    Hong Kong is still one of the busiest ports in the world - although no longer the biggest one. And other South Chinese cities are growing much faster then Hong Kong. So these big containerships in the Hong Kong harbour may at some point be a thing of the past.
