EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing beauty of Hong Kong's illuminated skyline at night, showcasing a city on the brink of historical change. Taken in June 1997, just before the official handover from Britain to China, this image represents a significant moment in time for both Hong Kong and the world. The skyline is adorned with an array of architectural marvels and towering skyscrapers that dominate the landscape. The buildings stand tall and proud, symbolizing progress and modernity. Their vibrant neon lights create a kaleidoscope of colors that illuminate the darkness, giving life to this bustling metropolis. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back to an era when agreements were being made and history was unfolding before our eyes. It serves as a reminder of Hong Kong's unique position as a gateway between East and West – where cultures collide and blend harmoniously. In this particular shot by Bill Rowntree, there are no people present; it is as if time has momentarily stood still. This absence allows us to fully appreciate the grandeur of these structures without distraction or interruption. Whether you have personal memories tied to Hong Kong or simply admire its remarkable architecture, this print offers a glimpse into its past – capturing not only its physical beauty but also its rich cultural heritage.
