Watching Sunrise on a Quantas

Watching sunrise on a Quantas can be fun. The plane was flying over the mainland of Australia after it passed a little eastward of Singapore, across the Pacific, over the archipelagos of Indonesia, the Gulf of Carpentaria.and above the "red" desert land of Queensland.

Looking eastward from a window of the plane, one would find the land below still dark while the distant sky first appeared blue with a narrow margin of yellow. Then the blue colour whitened and the yellow turned orange red. The sun soon showed its face and the brightness glared the lens of any camera on the plane.

In a short while, the sky brightened up and thick clouds of white laid below like a fluffy carpet of wool.The Quantas still flied steadily and speedily, heading for Sydney, its final destination. What an experience!

Black and White

There are black-and-white films, photos, documents and chocolates. Recently, Black burgers and White burgers are created by McDonald's in Hong Kong.

These new-born burgers differ greatly in colours of bread and sesame, being black and white, and in meat, being chicken and beef, but are both packed with marshed potato, lettuce and salad dressing. If one likes to eat beef, then he/she should buy a black burger. On the other hand, if he/she likes to eat chicken, then a white burger.

In my opinion, the main surprise from these burgers comes from the marshed potato. Only the tastes of meat differ and that of bread are the same, but the colour dyes of food do create a completely new look to the burgers.

Night Views of Yellow Duck at Tsim Sha Tsui

These are a few photos of the giant inflatable rubber Yellow Duck that floats recently near Ocean Terminal at Tsim Sha Tsui.

This 16.5 metre sculpture has arrived at Hong Kong for some time and will stay until June 9. Before this, it has travelled to famous cities of the world, such as Osaka, Sydney, Sao Paolo and Amsterdam. The man who creates this over-sized bath toy is the Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman. "I see it as an adult thing. It makes you feel young again. It refers to your childhood when there was no stress or economic pressure, no worry about having to pay the rent," said Hofman.

The Next stop for Rubber Duck is the United States. The exact destination is a closely guarded secret. I guess it to be San Francisco.
