from Sattahip to Hong Kong

At an altitude of 35,000 feet high, taking photos isn't easy. So here are some photos for you to see all these geographical locations.
1. Sattahip is at the southern tip of the photo. Further up is the famous Pattaya area.

2. Rayong another busy city in the Eastern Thailand.

3. Rayong East and it's the closet point to Koh Samed (a favourite vacation place for local Thais).
4. coastline of Vietnam. I guess it's around Dong Hoi. Vietnam should develop more in the tourism industry.
5. The white part in the photo looks like a salt field.
6. Approaching Hong Kong. On the top is Lamma Island. Then right in the middle is Stanley. You can see the satellite dishes at the tip of the peninsula.
7. Shek O - my favourite beach in my childhood.
8. Big Wave Bay and you can see it's very close to Chai Wan.
9. Chai Wan.
10. Shaukiwan and Lei Yue Mun - means so much to me as I have spent all of my life in this area.
11. Yau Tong. You can still see our good old friend - Kai Tak Airport on the top right.
12. Sai Kung - a very unique country side town. Hope it can still be preserved as it is.
13. Shain.
14. Tsuen Wan. You can see part of the HK island west on the top.
15. Tsing Yi
16. Tsing Yi and on the top is the HK island west.
17. Tsing Yi west and leading to Tsing Ma Bridge.
18. Tsing Ma bridge.
19. Ma Wan and Park island on the left.
20. HK Disneyland.
21. a container ship cruising at the Ma Wan/Ting Kau channel. Thanks to all these container ships, they have made HK such a prosperous city.
22. Kowloon West. The shortest building is already 40-50 storey high.

Hi Sea,
This is so spectacular. It is like a hellicopter tour around HK Island.
You do have a super camera and good photo skill as there is no reflection of the window from your plane at all.
The pictures are so clear and they look like you are taking them
"in the sky".
From,
SS

Thanks SS. There are some photos which have some flare. Most of the photos were taken by my compact Leica. The good part about Leica is purely on the lens which has the best clarity but the electronic part is not that good. The photos on Vietnam were taken with my Canon 400D DSLR plus a Tamron 300mm lens. DSLR has a better photo texture.

Yes I asked my friend in Toronto to view this and he admits these are gorgeous. That guy always thinks he is expert in photo taking but now he kept quiet after seeing yours.

Thanks. That's very encouraging. Nowadays the cameras are very advanced. Will post a photo taken by my DSLR with a zoom lens at 300mm.
