Beneath a sky painted with drifting cotton clouds, the late afternoon sun casts golden light over this rugged pocket of Kensington, a moment frozen in 2006. A red car, almost defiantly small, speeds towards the underpass—a tunnel of bricks and history, its weathered facade whispering tales of trucks that didn’t quite fit. The bold yellow sign warns of the low clearance, but it’s the layers of posters clinging to the walls, their edges curling in quiet rebellion, that tell the real story of a city forever in flux.
On the left, a chain-link fence leans slightly, its metal bones intertwined with weeds and time. A stern red-and-white HAZCHEM sign adds an air of caution, though the true danger here seems to be neglect—the creeping wildness reclaiming the edges of industry. Further down, a wooden pole tilts, holding onto its own directive: LEFT LANE MUST TURN LEFT, a command as absolute as it is ignored in the stillness of this near-empty street. On the left, a transmission tower—its upper reaches partially cropped—stands as a silent sentinel, its metallic lattice etched against the sky, a testament to industrial ambition and urban decay.
Above it all, power lines slice across the sky, connecting past to present, whispering electricity into the bones of a city that hums, even in its quieter corners.
At times, this thoroughfare gets very busy.

Solitary traffic cones; eh?
The image reminds me of a couple of meandering walks I took through Hong Kong's residential neighbourhoods, in 2015. Where every corner tells a story of the eternal struggle between urban order and nature's persistence.
That solitary traffic cone, sun-faded and steadfast against the salmon-coloured walls of what appears to be "23 Magic," stands as a humble guardian of human boundaries. Yet all around it, life burgeons forth - those defiant shrubs in their concrete planters, the towering palm trees reaching skyward, their fronds dancing against the subtropical blue.
There's something deeply poetic about Hong Kong's endless dialogue between the built and natural worlds. The Chinese sign warning against dogs seems almost quaint against the backdrop of unstoppable green vitality. The plants here don't merely grow - they assert themselves, pushing through every crack and crevice, transforming utilitarian spaces into accidental gardens.
In Hong Kong, even the most mundane urban scenes carry this duality: the rigid geometry of apartment blocks softened by cascading vegetation, their harsh lines blurred by the persistent mist and the relentless advance of tropical growth. That lonely traffic cone, with its fading orange warning against some forgotten temporary hazard, seems to acknowledge its own impermanence against nature's patient siege.
The concrete is warm underfoot, and somewhere above, between the high-rises, a patch of sky reminds you that despite all our efforts at order - the neat tiles, the careful landscaping, the warning signs - we're all just temporary guests in this place where the jungle patiently waits to reclaim its domain.

On our 2014 Trip to Hong Kong I was loaned a Google Phone, by the hotel we stayed in. This was a game changer for me. In an era before E-sims using the internet overseas was prohibitively expensive. So in essence to have this for free as I flâneured around Hong Kong was a real bonus. Poking around in all sorts of nooks and crannies off the beaten track is one of my favourtie things to do when overseas.

This old camera, a Kodak DC260 from about 2000 was designed to prevent this kind of work, I always enjoy pushing these machines to make something the designer may not think is worthwhile,
