Victoria Peak

View From Victoria Peak By Yannick Dixon
Taken at 09:49am in Hong Kong. Saturday 29th November 2008.

Victoria Peak (known locally as The Peak) is a popular destination for tourists as it offers spectacular views of Hong Kong Island, Kowloon & Victoria Harbour. I took this photograph from the new sky terrace at the top of the peak and spent a good hour enjoying the wonderful view and taking lots of photographs. Going to Victoria Peak was certainly one of the highlights of the trip as the view was simply stunning. I went early in the morning and took one of the first trams to the summit (which meant there were very few tourists to get in the way of the me taking the photographs I wanted to take). I always make an effort to get the highest vantage point that I can and Victoria Peak certainly didn’t disappoint. You can see many of Hong Kong’s most prominent buildings from the peak (such as The Bank of China Tower & the International Finance Centre). I thought that New York City was a fantastic city to photograph but I’m starting to think Hong Kong could now give it a run for my money! I took enough photographs to make a massive panorama of the view from The Peak that I’m hoping to start work on this month.

In other news, I’m really pleased to announce that I’m going to be a North West artist represented by Visual For Business which is “a unique and flexible service from Arts & Business bringing high quality contemporary art to businesses”. If your interested to learn more about Visual please do take the time to view their website. I will have my own profile on their site in the near future, so I’ll post any further details here on my blog as soon as I know more.
