Back on a wintry day early in 2008, I went hiking with a friend along Stage 4 of the Hong Kong Trail from Wan Chai Gap to Wong Nai Chung Gap. Although misty conditions prevented us from having stellar views along the way, it still was an enjoyable enough hike that I decided that it was would be worth repeating -- albeit on a clearer air day.
Thus it was that one day last summer, I decided to go with two other friends along that same 7.5 kilometer trail. And as I trust that the following photos I took that afternoon will show, it really was a beautiful day to be outdoors and tramping about on Hong Kong Island... :)

Hi ytsl,
Really like your photo of the green caterpillar(?) making it's way across the everything gray, including leaves, muddy earth.
Hi sbk --
Thanks for liking that photo -- and letting me know that by way of leaving a comment. :)
BTW, I still am really envious of your frog photos -- and hope that one day, I too will be able to take a photo of a frog in the wild. :b
Love your posts of 'the other side of' Hongkong!
Hi Horsoon --
You mean the side that's far more nature filled than many people think that Hong Kong is/can be? If so, am glad that you're enjoying seeing that side of it by way of my photos. :)
