Classic Hong Kong Harbour Pictures
This classic picture of Hong Kong Harbour is not, as you might imagine, taken from the Sky Terrace 428 observation deck of either the Peak Tower or the open terraces of the Peak Galleria.
In fact it is from Lugard Road, which is part of the Circular Walk just a few minutes along the quiet shaded path from the Peak Plaza. It isn't quite as high, but as you can see here there are still great views and as always it is the weather and the sky, as well as your angle and your camera, which determines what comes out in the shot!
Here you can see the IFC II tower in the near distant centre, which is the International Finance Centre tower Two, while on the far left of the frame across the harbour is the International Commerce Centre or Union Square Phase 7, currently Hong Kong's tallest building.
