Night Market
Hong Kong, December 2012
Any avid Hong Kong shopper would know of the night market at Temple Street in the vicinity of Jordan and Yau Ma Tei in Kowloon, Hong Kong. The street gets closed to traffic late in the afternoon and shoppers flock to the place even as early as 2 p.m. But there are many other smaller streets in Hong Kong that likewise morph into busy shopping areas in the evenings like this one along the tram line near Hong Kong Central — proof that shopping is very much part of the nightlife in Hong Kong.

The drag of endless mental work in a strange land takes its toll. Fatigue can kill so petty escapades provide hopeful deviations from the brewing madness. An aging DSLR keeps good company to a walk around the neighbourhood, a short drive to a scenic place, or a silent recollection in a quiet nook granting that the host community and the elements of nature would allow one a safe passage to solitude and contemplation. Loneliness quickly turns to joy when something exciting gets captured by the cam’s shutter then set free into the laptop’s screen followed by electric words that rush from the fingers to the keyboard in an effort to describe the moment. Alas, the brain is alive once again!
This market is also called “Poor Man’s Nightclub” – great … shot.

Hello, Gilles. Glad to know that you like this series. It’s a bit of a deviation from my usual off-the-beaten track photos. 🙂
