Earth Photos

By Stephen Palmquist


And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.

- Kahlil Gibran (The Prophet)

This category includes landscapes and anything that crawls on or grows in the land (except that people are shown on a separate page).

Landscapes

View from the path to Tai Mo Saan (Hong Kong's highest peak):

The following series shows the 360 degree view from the top of Ma On Shan ("Horse Saddle Mountain", in Cantonese), one of Hong Kong's highest mountain peaks. (If necessary, adjust your window size so that four pictures fit in one row. To enhance the panoramic effect, I've put the same shot at the beginning and the end.) The first row starts facing South and moves to the North, while the second row starts facing North North East and moves back around to the South. While enjoying this view, I wrote a poem about friendship, ambivalence, and Hong Kong's return to China.
