93 Nov 24 Reply Yes, Stephen, you described it very accurately. No matter how the city changes, the starry sky remains the same, always watching over us. Ephemeral and Eternal. Nov 11th
93 Nov 24 Reply Thanks Neil. Glad you are interested in the story behind.

This photograph captures the starry sky before sunrise atop Hong Kong's highest peak. It contrasts the vibrant city lights with the tranquil starlight on either side of the sea of clouds. The Southern Cross (Crux), visible in the upper right corner, is often hard to see in the Northern Hemisphere. Faras referred to this constellation as "Las Guardas" in a letter to the King of Portugal from Brazil on May 1, 1500. The starlight appears to protect the city, symbolizing the harmony between urban life and nature. Despite recent challenges, the guardian stars continue to shine.

This photo holds cultural significance and is part of my series "Harmony in Complementarity" alongside the earlier work in October (Moon & Sea).
