for Fools rush in where angels fear to tread...

amandine treads in the caine road cathedral, for a private moment of prayers, before the rushing in of crowds of pilgrims, including Donald Tsang, at the cardinal Joseph Zen's mass on his 'elevation' by the Pope... hehehee

soHo wall

snapshot of Amandine in soho this noon

She was quite 'provençal' looking - creamy formal blouse, floral three-layred skirt and red provençal patterned overcoat (all sugarmag), beige leather boots (dollheart) and mushroom handbag (blythism) - against the wall of alley leading to terrace of La Terrasse restaurant (French cuisine)

temples revisited

lunar new year time gives me more appetite for shooting its ressembling ambiance, at the very few available temples in hong kong, often crowded by the intruding surroundings and canopied by time defying trees...

a high rise building intruding in the background (which had tempted me to erase it... but me being a "naturalist'...)

i am always overwhelmed by the rigour of a dragon (that i feel too much power or the so called 'yang'??)

a 30-second shot in the middle of crossing the road, avoiding here and there pedestrians and passing buses, lorries, flashing taxis... an old temple at Queen's Road East

amandine wore a cotton padded coat (by sugarmag last CNY), over a corduroy red one piece dress (a recent gift from sugarmag during CNY) and yellowish brown leather boots (dollsheart)

sun, moon, star

amandine, discovered a curious district of the sun, moon and star streets, a trilogy situated at the outskirt of south wanchai next to admiralty

amandine dressed in earth colour, felt very grounded, before she set out for her sun, moon, star adventure

the mystery of the vanished saint-exupéry, leaving the saga of petit prince in this planet

oh la la, a 'traiteur' at one end of the star street

so starry the amazing CD wall sparkling up the storey of a building

the white phal orchids also twinkling on the roof of a florist in saint francis yard

a red cigar shop on star street ~ against an antique furniture shop on st francis street

florists in saint francis street

agnès b's hongkong office, on a road, very european ~ yucca in the lamplight

two neighbourhood restaurants

a chinese tea shop at star street ~ gigantic light wall of some asian statue, three pacific place

a number of furniture shops and interior design studios scattered in the area

the moon street is a one-block street of a few residential storeys, at street level are several food wholesale and garages

the sun street, also a one-block road parallel to moon street, which in turn is parallel to star street, where stone stairs lead down to the south side of queen's road east ~ at its dead end a restaurant called 'solstice', still an astrological allusion

down queen's road east are the array of curtain and bedlinen shops

bonne nuit >3<

amandine wore an almond-toffee coloured dress (sugarmag), caramel coloured boots (who's that girl)
