Stanley--a fushion of Chinese and Western cultures (Part two)

Catching up with part one, this entry will be about the remaining journey.

After the busker's performance, we turned left to the Market. On the faded fresco, it said "TO SHOPPING MALL". But indeed it's an outdoor market connecting the whole shopping area.

TO SHOPPING "MALL"

Its colour has already faded.

Walking out from the chaotic market, the sun was already going home. I am still amateur in photo shooting. Although the sunset provided a good composition for a great picture, I didn't know the skill of taking a stunning one. So,here they are:

55mm  f/14  1/2000s  ISO200

210mm  f/22  1/4000s  ISO400

66mm f/20  1/2000  ISO200

While the Sun was setting on the West, the Moon had already appeared on the opposite side! Although I did bring a tripod, I took all the photos manually.

210mm  f/8  1/400s  ISO200

Boats were back in the evening. There were approximately 20 boats.

Cool! One Piece on top!

Captain was sorting the fishing net.

Dainty doggies were everywhere! I am afraid of big dogs but not the small ones. Though most people said big dogs are actually more timid, I concern more about their sizes.

Excuse me,I'm peeing~

Hey,what's up there?

Master,let me down!

I want more~

Murray House was originally a Victorian-era building in Central but was later moved and rebuilt in Stanley. It was named after Sir George Murray (1772-1846), who was a Scottish soldier and politician.

A closer look

 After taking some pictures in the Murray House, we switched to the Blake Pier. Many people got off boats in the evening.

 As the sky got darker, a better picture of the Moon was captured. This was taken manually too!

As I have said in the previous post that I have been to Stanley about 10 years ago, I think not much has differed in this period of time. It remains to be a vibrant district fusing Chinese and Western cultures. There are many local and foreign tourists, unveiling the diversified mask of Stanley. If I had more time, I will definitely go to the St. Stephen's Heritage Trail and the Correctional Services Museum. The former will reveal more about the history of Hong Kong in which I am interested and the latter will surely broaden my horizon as there are ancient executing tools etc. Stanley is a worth going place!
