Hong Kong Adventures: View from the Skies




     Ever wondered how the world looks from the sky?  It's amazing; like a fantasy.  Huge islands and mountains appear to be smaller than the aircraft and everything else seems like miniature models.  The clouds look like cotton candy in the shape of cuddly animals: bears, dogs, pandas, elephants, depending on my imagination.

     When we went to Hong Kong, our flight was in the early morning  so I had the liberty to look outside the window and gaze at the world below me. I got pictures of mountains, ships and islands from the skies.  Not particularly great shots, as the clouds screened most of the view out, but these evoke the feeling that I am no longer seeing the world through myopic eyes.
