Sound and light show

That evening I went to Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront to view the Symphony of Lights, which is a 10 minute son et lumière show involving buildings on HK island and Kowloon. It holds the world record as the largest permanent sound and light show. This shot was taken before the show. In the middle is the One IFC building. The Bank of China is on the left edge and there is a junk with red sails passing.


A shot centred on the Bank of China tower which is angular compared to the others and has been criticised on feng shui grounds.


Panning towards the east of the BoC.


During the show the buildings are floodlit, laser beams play from the apexes of some, and the edge lights of the BoC building run in animated patterns.


The beams create spots of light on the buildings on the Kowloon side.


Apparently the show is more spectacular at New Year. I must come back with a tripod and stake out a good spot.
