This is the final part for now.
I realise Part 2 was a bit brain-damaged, so here are more of the same.
The pigeons having their new year’s feast.
Officially, we’re not allowed to feed pigeons. but what the hell. Live and let live!
This tree is 15 years old.
(Yeah, everything is fast-growing here in Hong Kong.)
The last tree on the same site was 120 years old, then it kicked the bucket in a tropical storm. I fetched bits of the old one back home, and I love it.
They’re still suffociating the tree with these concrete barriers!
The lone white pigeon stared at me non-stop. It was eery.
The groundsman at the nearby cricket club threw some bread crumbs to the birds, saying “Happy New Year to you guys!”
Awww, that’s nice of him, wasn’t it?
The hated crowd-control barriers.
We’re having 23 minutes of fireworks tonight around eight o’clock.
Hate it. I used to love fireworks, but not since after living in Beirut.
Now, I get really scared when they crank up the fireworks because they sound exactly like artillery fire.
