Frost in Hong Kong

Thursday, 31 January 2008 14:06 PM

If I’m not mistaken this is frost on the roofs of the houses across from me.

That would be the first time I see frost here in Discovery Bay, Hong Kong.

The picture was taken yesterday morning, about 8am. It was about 7 to 8 degrees - possibly a little colder at the rooftops due to the wind that sweeps past it.

It sure is mighty cold these last few days - but if we start to get ice here it’s time to “move south”!

CX888

Monday, 21 January 2008 15:08 PM

I’m boarding CX888 to Vancouver - this will be a 11 and a half hour flight.

I can’t recall taking a bus to the aircraft instead of the airbridge so this picture below will be a rare one.

Vancouver is mighty cold and I don’t really have many warm clothes anymore - you simply don’t need sweaters and jumpers in Hong Kong. So this will have to be a matter of adding more layers of clothes.

smog free day

Saturday, 12 January 2008 15:36 PM

It’s a cracking day today. I hiked up the 500 m behind the house and had a brilliant 360 view of Hong Kong.
Including the Airport, Tuen Mun, Central, Lamma Island, Cheng Chau and lots of islands beyond that which i don’t even have the names of.

Unfortunately I didn’t not bring anything with a lens so I just grabbed this webcam image from HK tourism board website.
