Flower show (image heavy)
8

It is now the week of the annual flower show held in Hong Kong. One of the hottest photo event that local people would never want to miss.

This year, the early rainy season (torrential rain most of the times last two weeks) and very warm weather (recorded 32°C during my hike last week in early Spring!) had some negative effect on the display flowers such that many had shown over bloom just on the 2nd day of the show...

As usual, it was crowded with thousands of people, and I always suspected that likely all photo gears owned by local people been all showed up there. Had spent a whole afternoon there...

Not easy to get a good place to shoot among the crowd, particularly have to be aware of the smartphones that might suddenly come up from nowhere in front of the lens... Worst of all, smartphones usually would take a long time to take a photo, and very often their owner would never wish to go away after taken their shots???

The main theme flower is Hibiscus rosa-sinensis this year. A few to share:
