When hiking up the hills behind one of the many estates in #Hongkong it is very likely that one would come across some makeshift common areas like an open air gym, a communal open air tea kitchen, or maybe some type of gardening lot. Hong Kongers are as creative as any urbanites in reclaiming space and making it their own - especially in those urban/nature frontiers. Many times, those spaces seem to replace the living rooms of the locals, offering them a refuge from cramped living quarters. One more curious thing that one might stumble across are legions of #gods, or rather porcelain god statues. These gatherings are not as random as they may seem though. The statues symbolize the importance of those deities to local people and stand for disruption in their human's lives. Whether it was a move, or death those gods lost their place in their human's home. But who could throw away a deity? That is why many end up with peers in some secluded spot on the hills and mountains of Hong Kong - maybe abandoned but not lonely.

All those beautiful black and white photos that pass by on pixelfed have infected me. I also want to learn it. Here is a first attempt: a bronze statue that I photographed last month in the beautiful town of Mertola in #Portugal. I thought the photo was suitable because the black and white makes it more threatening. If I can do something better or if I should do it differently, let me know. Should it be darker, or not, I'd love to hear it! #monochromemonday #monochrome #blackandwhite #blackandwhitephotography #photo #streetphotography #photos #statue
A black and white photo of a bronze statue of a knight on a horse. It is a life-size statue, it fills a large part of the photo. It was photographed from below, because the statue stood on a hill. As a result, you only see sky behind the statue. The horse's back legs are bent and the front legs are stretched. As a result, the horse leans slightly backwards, with its head down. As a result, there is a lot of movement in the horse's posture, as if it could just jump away. The knight sits upright on the horse. Above and around him a threatening, white and gray cloud formation. The bronze statue is dark gray, which makes the details clearly visible.
