EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Robyn Beck from Agence France-Presse (AFP), we witness a historic moment as two Australian Navy ships dock at the former British naval basin, HMS Tamar, located in downtown Hong Kong. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the changing times and the imminent disappearance of this significant site. Scheduled to vanish next month due to an ambitious waterfront reclamation project worth millions of dollars, it marks the last time Tamar will welcome a foreign fleet. As our eyes wander beyond the navy vessels, we are greeted by Central Plaza towering over the cityscape. Standing tall and proud, it holds its title as Asia's tallest building. The juxtaposition between these symbols of power and progress creates an intriguing visual contrast. The vertical composition emphasizes both strength and height; it showcases not only military might but also urban development on a grand scale. The presence of these massive structures against the backdrop of bustling city life reminds us that change is inevitable in our ever-evolving world. Robyn Beck's expert lens captures this fleeting moment with precision and artistry, allowing us to reflect on history while contemplating what lies ahead for Hong Kong's skyline.
