HONG KONG
- "A Hundred Day's of Wonders"
-
- in celebration of Hong Kongs reunification with China, July 1st. 1997.
Here a series of pictures from
Hong Kong which will NEVER be seen again.
On July 1st. Hong Kong was
reunited with China - - -
I simply had to go back to
Hong Kong as soon as possible after that date in order to see for myself,
and to record this unique event with my cameras.
