Victoria Harbour

Fragrant* Victoria Harbour
29May 2005

Ship, vessel, ferry, boat, trawler, hydrofoil **
Some single deck, some double deck
Criss-crossing the harbour
Leaving behind a long trail of white foam
Ferrying people to outlaying islands, businessmen to parts of China
Or ‘turbojet-ing’ fortune seekers to Macau

It is a beautiful breezy summer lazy*** Sunday afternoon
Sitting by the window of my apartment
Sipping tea, eating pumpkin cheesecake
Watching the 5 golden towers of China HK City Terminal
Glitter like treasure boxes under the late afternoon sun
Harbour City building’s reflection shimmering on the water
Eagles soaring high in the sky, helicopter flying from Macau
And a great mountain scenery as a beautiful backdrop

I thanks God for creating such a beauty!

* not so fragrant when the diesel smell is overwhelming
** missing sampan
*** a break I needed after weeks of visitors and traveling. Lost my voice, nursing flu, sore throat and cough
