Winter festival, Hong Kong

Lost in Hong Kong, we meandered downhill and came on preparations for the Winter festival. This is one festival that has been enthusiastically accepted across the world, since it allows businesses to make money. We were lucky to hit this spot around the lunch time break on a workday. A group of carol singers was assembling. We joined the gaggle of bystanders around them.

The Family had spotted a conical spire off our route and made a beeline for a photo. It was an innovative take on a Newton’s tree. I liked it, especially the stacking of spheres that reminded me that Newton explained the regularity with which the planets move around the sun.

Our waiting paid off. The group started to sing. Bystanders jostled to come closer, but I managed to get an unobstructed view of the big choir. I leave you with the Hong Kong winter choir.
