Street Photography from Western Market in Hong Kong

Photo Essay From Western Market

We got back to the city from Lamma Island and decided to do the second half of a walking tour we had started but hadn't completed in our first week. Our legs were tired but the thirst to see as much as possible kept us moving.

Realizing our Hong Kong trip was nearing the end was perhaps the catalyst as well as a case of FOMO.

We started out late afternoon and headed towards the Western Market. This is my favorite time of day for photography. The light rarely hit the street but soft pleasing rays bounced from one building to the next.

I was amazed at the level of activity with trucks being emptied, warehouses being filled, empty boxes wheeled away on trolleys, and shelves neatly stocked with everything from shark fins to nuts and dried pork.
