The view from Victoria Peak, the highest mountain on Hong Kong Island (552m) Accessible by car, bus or funicular railway which is how I got there. In the early 1900's sedan chair was the main transportation to the top ! Most of Hong Kong's wealthiest residents live in this area.

It's all about perspective and perception.
Terrific vista. Those buildings look like a collection of Legos. Wonderful capture.

Amazing capture Eve. It sure has changed since the 80's. You've certainly presented a whole new scene of the city. Perfect clarity and amazing view 'from the top'. Very well done and so glad you shared it.

Friends are like shining stars. You may not always see them, but you know they are always there for you.
Fascinating perspective here. The skyline can CLEARLY be enjoyed while still seeing the outskirts of the city and those mountains behind. Well done Eve.

Just an old "Grampa" who still has a Kodak "Box" camera kicking around the attic ... learning and enjoying the wonders of modern digital photography.
What a view! Terrific shot of a bustling metropolis. I see what you mean by the cloudiness. It has to be smog. I wonder how many millions live in this city. Those buildings are really very close to each other.

I have seen some photos from this point before, but none were as clear and detailed as yours, Eve! I love the contrasts in it - dark grass in front, and blue gentle mistiness in the distance. Memorable photo!

A jaw-dropping and absolutely outstanding shot, Eve!
For an art project, I once had to view hundreds of photos of Hong Kong harbour. In my opinion, your image ranks among the top five I've ever seen. It's so unusual to view this vista on a clear day with the distant hills also in view, and you've made a beautiful capture of the skyscrapers' myriad of colours. Top marks, my friend!!!

This is incredible!! What an amazing capture of the cityscape and the mist (fog) makes it even better. Kudos, Lyn!

Fabulous shot. It looks as though some of those buildings are as tall as the peak. They certainly don't waste any space there.

Super shot of Hong Kong. You are so lucky to have been so many fantastic places.

Imagine you are there
I have had the pleasure seeing that view in person, and the picture, although quite breathtaking, does not do it justice. It is quite the view, and the trolly ride up was something to behold. 45 degree angle up a cable car type contraption, that looked, and felt, like it would snap any second....lol
