[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This photo was taken from a pedestrian walkway which leads from Victoria Park to the Causeway Bay typhoon shelter.

The skyline in the background is Kowloon and it faces the famous Hong Kong skyline. (See Peter Pantangco's photo)

But since the old airport was closed down in 1997, this skyline has been steadily rising.

The newest building (far left) is Union Square Phase 7 (its formal development name).

In 2005, they officially announced that its will be called International Commerce Centre.

When finished it will have 108 floors and a height of 484m.

Hi Andrew, it is a great view. But is a Nokia N73 a mobile phone?
It is rather hard comparing phone cameras with the other 'real' cameras.
There is a lot of noise, especially in the sky. Noise are all those tiny colourful dots that are showing in the sky and water.
But the composition is good.
Cheers
Janice
