IMH...I recognized the Hong Kong skyline instantly. IMHO it is the most beautiful city in the world at night (I think all cities are ugly by day).<BR/><BR/>When I was on the good ship Houston, we made a port call there in December, 1996. The sides of many of the taller buildings were decorated with Christmas lights that spanned nearly top to bottom. It was truly beautiful to see from the harbor at night.Dave (aka Buckskins Rule)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07764864394651709866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-32953036647491152942009-02-24T07:44:00.000-07:002009-02-24T07:44:00.000-07:00Thanks, Ladies!
