Lantau Island in the morning sun
Thursday, 26 March 2009 22:59 pm
When taking off for a flight I had a beautiful view over my home the other week.
This is Lantau Island in the morning sun (10am take off to the East, then a right turn over the Tsing Ma bridge).
You can see Discovery Bay in the foreground and Disney park Hong Kong on bottom right.
The Lantau mountains show up between the clouds in the background - and the nice thing is I’ve climbed them all so know all the peaks.
The first ridge is the one nearest DB, with Tiger Head Hill the highest peak (~450m).
The second mountain - to the left - is Sunset peak - about 850m.
The third and highest - in the middle - is Lantau peak - about 950m (and it’s a bastard to climb).
Nice to see them all from my relaxing seat in the pointy end of this airplane.
Cheers,
Marc
