Hong Kong 1991
All rights reserved
The people retained their religion and traditions as they still wish to today which is causing some problems with Chinese authorities.
We arrived in Hong Kong very early in the morning.
The hotel could not yet give us a room so we wandered into a park.
On a flat surface of green stood a line of women facing out towards the beautiful view.
Behind them was a "Master" of a particular Chinese art with which I was not familiar.
At first I believed it to be Tai Chi, and maybe it was a form of such.
To us it was like Magic!
The women could not see the Master who stood behind them.
He would slowly push forth his arms, hands with open fingers pointed to the sky.
The women would flow forwards with the Master's hands...and then slowly back when the Master's hands came back. The beauty and mystery of this has never left me.
I wonder if my ex wife (the one who is a psychiatrist) remembers the name of this temple.
From the corners of the image, a full frame film image, I know I was using one of the Leica rangefinder cameras.
