Met Caroline in Hong Kong on the way back from Japan. A few days of walking, outdoors, markets, steep streets and harbour edges. Hong Kong rewards the slow pace: an electric collision of old and new, where colonial shophouses sit in the shadow of towers and every alley offers something worth framing.
