Walla-walla
In the days before all that background construction, elevated roads, the MTR and road tunnels, if you wanted to cross Hong Kong harbour in the wee small hours, a little boat like this was the only choice, unless you fancied a swim. The fleet of walla-wallas served revellers and others until probably the late 70s, after which alternative and less exciting forms of getting home took over. There are still a few to be seen, mainly with a few people out fishing, braving the wakes from far larger craft.

Lost in Translation
Something frivolous for Easter Sunday. At first sight I thought this meant you couldn’t park on Valentine’s Day …
Welcome to the revamped dgcPhoto site, complete with a new theme and a new look.
I’ve been rather busy with other things for a while, so I thought a makeover was more than overdue. I hope you like it.
In many ways, the site is the same as before except that with the new theme it’s easier to navigate and more efficient to load. And the layout is far cleaner.
I’m currently using two cameras: the truly excellent Canon 90D I bought several months ago that is streets ahead of any other camera I’ve owned over the years, and a Canon 100D that I’ve had for a couple of years — a really lightweight little workhorse. I am also using my iPhone SE far more than I expected. The latest OS makes it an incredibly versatile camera.
Keep checking out the galleries; the old ones have been reinstalled and new ones are being added.
What were the ‘other things’?
Check out ‘My Novels’ here or in the menu above where a couple of clicks will take you to the world of ClarkeFiction and details of my seven edge-of-the-seat thriller novels and my wife Gail’s wonderful fully illustrated children’s books.
