Bah, i have let this LJ go to pot; and I simply cannot keep up with Facebook thru not being at a computer enough even to communicate regularly with a very few.

I have about 4000 raw travel photos atm - apart from including some in emails, they are largely offline.
I should put them in Photobucket and select for my journal from that maybe. I do want my LJ to contain some vestige of a visual record.

This screen! it isn't doing me good... IT BURNS.

Here's a start anyhow -- some fotos from what was the most brilliant, exciting unpredicted boat trip imaginable. Some pre-rush hour early ferry that pulled in near some weird fish market place that some loony bus stopped at, that me and Alan Smyth got on (proper sensible, using Octopus cards)... then went churning right across some foggy bay on an apparently suicidal course, way low in the GREEN water with mad Old Hong Kong - and a lot of ships seeming to jump right out of the mist overhead and *on every side*. (Meanwhile the chopping, swelling water looking like it was full of frogs or those gilled hopping things in boxes at Mong Kok ).
On studying maps afterwards the journey was Sha-Tin to Kowloon to Hung Hom then North Point? and across Victoria bay.
After that, old Hong Kong was so seriously whelming that I bought a rare postcard for the like-minded, and scribbled off a sketch and attempted description -bladerunner on acid = bout as much as could be thunk at the time.




























(PS i wz also on a mission to find a chemist and get stuff that removes non-permanent hair colour since the night b4 at the hotel I made a HORRIBLE mistake and it would NOT wash out. Didn't find anything but luckily it did eventually wash out thru lots of excellent hi-power showering on board ship.
Bah, and it said it would 'enrich natural tones'.)
