A Hong Kong Afternoon with the Ricoh GR II

Introduction

The grey afternoon in Hong Kong began on a mode of transport, an urban area blurring past. Streets filled with land vehicles, cars, and motor vehicles, all part of the city's pulsing rhythm.

I walked, passing walls adorned with vibrant murals, visual arts that seemed to speak from the brick. Girls strolled by, their bags and backpacks part of the street fashion scene.

The bustle continued as I encountered more urban areas, metropolitan expanses defined by transportation and towering buildings. Public transport, specifically trains, moved through the city.

A public space, perhaps a market or flea market, offered a momentary respite from the relentless traffic and signs. Food stalls beckoned, with ingredients like watermelon and other melons, ready for consumption. Tableware lay ready, awaiting the next patron. It was a day of observation, a journey through the urban fabric captured by the GR II.
