Shot for the Day (17 January 2018)


Taken a few years ago on my Noblex, a local Hong Kong boatman was collecting floating debris in Victoria Harbour. The building half finished in the back lefthand corner of the shot, is the International Commerce Centre. It has 108floors and is 484 m (1,588 ft) tall, the tallest building in Hong Kong. Indeed, when it was completed in 2011, it was the 4th tallest building in the world (now the 11th).

Amazing how quickly the Hong Kong skyline has changed in a relatively short period of time.

On my last trip to Peru, a few years ago, I was trekking in the Andes surrounding Cusco in the south central mountains of the country.  The area is awash with Inca ruins, including Machu Picchu.  I hired a motorbike for the day and drove around the city, hoping to find something interesting, when I stumbled across this place. I have no idea where it was but there were no tourists there, just a few llamas.

The shot below was taken on a trek around Huaraz, north from Lima in the Andes, close to Chimbote.  I was pretty high when I took this shot, around 4500m above sea level.  Both shots were taken on my Noblex 612 film camera.
