Architecture of Density

I have always hated the way how dense the population are in both Macau and Hong Kong, and hate the way how the residential high rises look. My grandma had a lovely nickname for those tall ugly blocks, “Match Boxes”, a good description, right?

A photographer named Michael Wolf took lots of colourful pictures of these blocks in Hong Kong, click to view more.

But sometimes Impossible is Nothing. Hong Kong is truly a miracle.

I discovered these photos from one of my favourite websites, Binary Bonsai.

   Lovely shots! I can’t imagine climbing up if there is a lift failure. I probably have coffee downstairs!

   Hey, you has this snowflakes dropping down the screen while I type. Cool!
