Walking Around My Home Town

Walking inside Hong Kong Museum of Arts gave me two great discoveries. One is not photographic related - an exhibit of Chinese calligraphy of 20 different panels each of different style from the same artist Xia Hou Kang. (of course he died 30 years ago.) Each panel on its own is already a great piece of art, but putting all 20 together, I know for this the greatness of his art. He not only could perform well in one style, his excellence is in every aspects of calligraphy. If you are in HK, please take a look at HK Art Museum . (Entrance fee is only HKD 10.-, a great steal, Singapore is charging 4 times +).

This was not taken on the spot (there are so many museum staff inside the HK Art Museum), but from the pamphlet which shows the exhibits. Probably not a good picture, but here the content is important while technique is secondary.

I was stunned and stood infront of the exhibits for a whole 5 minutes, with goose bumps standing too. When one sees a beautiful thing a day, the day is well lived!


Outside the exhibition hall, the sight of Victoria Harbour was a scene so many tourists have taken. I was a tourist too in my home town:

The window panels created a mosaic, turning an over shot subject into something a bit more interesting. I was sitting there quietly, enjoying the sight.

How about see two beautiful things a day, that day is well -- over lived.
