Howard,

Your pano with the big tree is filling my 27” monitor and is spectacular, to 
say the least. Thank you.

I first visited Hong Kong in the summer of 1953 and much has changed since 
then, very much!

Best regards,

Bill

Hi Flexers,

Yesterday I went on a mini photo safari with old friends to Tai Kwun “Big 
Station” -
the restored Central Police Station on Hong Kong Island. Through daughter 
Katie
from her work at Architectural Conservation at the University of Hong Kong
we know the supervising architect of the restoration and it is fabulous. 
Which it should
be given that nearly US$500 million was spent getting it right over 8 years! 
Thanks to
the Hong Kong jockey club.

Details on the restoration are here:

And the pictures - mostly a series of panos taken with the Fuji X100F and the 
Fuji X H1 with the 18 - 55 zoom
are here - together with one Leica surprise.
