Lost?



..and so it has begun!
But first things first.
Spirit of a city can only be understood, when You'll understand its rhythm.
Best thing to do, I believe, is to go out and get lost.
Yes exactly, lost. Up to some extent of course - Piglet grunted with satisfaction.
No map and Lonely Planet books, no idea where to go and what to expect.
Observe eagerly, wait patiently and learn the pace of a place.
Strolling freely on the streets of Hong Kong island I've reached the point where I could no longer go North. End of walkway, start of highway.
Last rays of the Sun led me straight to the harbour nearby. Following the path and overcoming the obstacles in the form of fences dividing one property from another, I have immersed in silence and sunset.
It wasn't too long until this was violently broken by unidentifiable scream of an uniformed man running in my direction. And then I saw the sign. I've just broken onto the grounds of Firefighting Boat Division and Police Officers Club.
First photo I took was also the only one from that spot.
Nearly fell into the water, while trying to go back rapidly the way I came from.
I was a bit quicker, so it saved me from explaining to boys in blue, what the hell I was doing out there.. Looking for photo opportunities?
This time curiosity have earned me one more image, little bit of adrenaline and some priceless memories..
