Jan 31:  Tattooed!

Only the most dedicated and bravest Lammaites dare to get a "Lamma Island" tattoo. Who's got one? Check our beaches!

Not for me, though. Lamma caps and T-shirts are as far as I'll go to demonstrate my allegiance.
"Wakanda Forever", err, "Lamma Forever"!

Jan 30:  Ex-Lamma Quarry Plans Abandoned?

Finally, some decision on use of ex-Lamma Quarry might be coming in the next few years. Another study starting up this year, considering the area for recreational use, not a 5,000-people new city as planned originally, 10+ years ago:

Jan 25:  Nothing But Armani & Poodles

"Those few Bohemian holdouts are being pushed out and soon Lamma will be nothing but Armani and poodles."
(Lamma Quote of the Day, by Alan)"

Jan 24:  So Typically Lamma!

Discarding refuse at the side of the litter container with an official warning/threat not to do that, ignoring the threat, snubbing the nose at officialdom. Typically Lamma!

More Typically Lamma! through the years

Jan 18:  Playing With My Selfie

Still playing around with my selfie, the resulting AI-assisted images evolving into more and more artsy and outlandish creations...
I love them all!

Jan 17:  Stingray Wins 1st Place!

HK Storm Watchers writes:
"Congrats to Lamma's very own Stingray doing what he does best. 1st place over 50km across HK Island yesterday in 90-100% Humidity."

Jan 15:  Try the Wild Boar Ragu!

Not from our local wild boars, obviously! We love those, as long as they don't dig up our gardens,
injure a dog (rarely, only when the dog chases them) or
make huge messes (frequently at night) scavenging our public waste bins, needing them to be fortified.

See this Lamma-zine story: Boars vs. Bins

Jan 14:  Are We Still in HK?

Are we still in HK? I shot this from the Aberdeen-Lamma ferry this morning, returning from breakfast on HK Island, after the morning fog cleared (fog picture by Mrloyalty, shot from the Pak Kok Old Village hillside).

P.S. My favourite "Foggy Lamma" pic of the day, by Michelle Key, from her hike today to the telecom tower above Sok Kwu Wan:

P.S.2  One more, from a drone video:

"More visions from the sea of fog, which unexpectedly consumed the island this weekend. Here, a sprawling power station was transformed into a dystopian landscape.

Jan 12:  Painting the Fisherman's Village

Roz Keep writes:
"Sunday outdoor painting group was at Lamma Fisherman's Village (just off YSW ferry pier) last week. Great fun paintings these old stilt homes.

There is now a contemporary architecture library building right next door. The old and the new side by side. It's odd that I'm still here doing this, but it makes me happy."

Jan 11:  Damian's Spiderwebs

An entire Facebook album devoted to spiderwebs around Lamma! Love it!

Where else in HK would you find that? It tells a lot about the serenity and leisure we Lammaites experience living here. At least, till most of us have to rush back to our often hectic jobs off-island...

Fortunately, many of us work from home, run our own little businesses or are retired, poor but happy (my motto). So let's continue photographing sunsets, wild boars and spiderwebs!

Jan 7:  Wolf Moon @ PK Ferry Pier

David Ogg writes: "Moon out on my way to work this morning. One of those days I wished I'd had my camera with me as there were some cracking shots on the ferry too as it got up close to a huge passing tanker."

Jan 6:  5G Happiness

After so many years of some of the slowest (below 3Mbps) Internet broadband speeds in all of HK, Lamma Island is finally getting an optic fiber connection to HK Island and the rest of the world, replacing our longtime microwave-only links.

This is the landing point of the undersea fiber cable on North Lamma, expected to be hooked up later this year, hopefully:

In the meantime, I'm quite happy with my 5G wireless Wifi router's speeds in my home office, see speedtest above.

Jan 1:  Happy New Year!
