Description
This was taken in Shanghai Street, Kowloon, Hong Kong, a narrow but busy major thoroughfare. Much of the street has remained unchanged for the last 40-50 years, featuring a jumble of old tenement blocks and a wide variety of unpretentious shops and cheap restaurants. Amongst all the hustle and bustle is this small garden, popular with many locals.

Description
This was taken in a small grid of narrow streets off Jordan Road in Kowloon, Hong Kong. The area comprises tightly packed old tenement blocks, and features a curious mix of residential, commercial and semi-industrial premises such as this blacksmith's workshop, a mixture that is actually quite typical of many of the more down-at-heel areas of Hong Kong. This area is just next to a huge new redevelopment on the west Kowloon waterfront, which makes one wonder how much longer will places like this be there.
