Sunsets Are Back!
Just in time for Summer Solstice yesterday, the
Amazing Sunset Season has finally started up again, unusually late this year!
Let me
admire and celebrate these free, almost daily spectacles,
my zoom lens at the ready on our shared rooftop!

'A Humble Hamlet Transforms'
Mute Planet
comments on their drone video:
"Cloud Village (Yung Shue Wan)
On rainswept mornings like
these, a humble hamlet
transforms into a 'village in
the clouds'. It's an air of
mystery we don't often see at
sea level. [videography: Mark
Malby]"

Song of the Year?
Brendan Sheridan
writes:
"I recorded the sounds of the Asian
banded bullfrogs on Lamma (the
ones that are really noisy after
heavy rain) and re-pitched the
sounds to make a short song. It
is not pleasant to listen to and
is pretty obnoxious. Have a
listen!"
We fondly remember Brendan's yearly
Summer Tours in YSW pre-Covid.
Let's hope he resumes them this year!

Sooo Old?
Should I get this "Vintage Nerd
T-shirt" from
Geeks Outfit? So
honest, non-self-congratulatory,
not-youth-obsessed, very fitting
for this aging, geeky vintage
nerd!
But it's missing vinyl LPs and
the even older black, large
floppy disks of the very first
PCs I've used, pre-Apple, early
80s. Since then I've been
creating
computer art as a
fun hobby on many computer
systems:
I've been growing up with a
single phone landline and
without any TV till 2nd primary
school (then only a small B/W
screen and noisy picture for
many years, including the first
moon landing live!).
Nowadays I can access
the world's news, info, social
media and
entertainment via high-speed
fiber Internet, the technical
progress in my lifetime has been
utterly astonishing.
I feel so grateful
and happy to be alive
in our amazing age, enjoying
every day, despite all the
negative news stories. Almost 80
years without a World War, we've
all been so lucky in our lives so
far. My parents suffered through
the entire WW2 as children, my
grandparents even through both
WWs.

Danger! Dangerous Tree!
 
First 2 pictures from
the Pak Kok Families WhatsApp group
The owner of the Pak Kok Village
house in the first picture was worried
about the tree starting to lean, showing
dark patches on the trunk, see 3rd picture.
 Calling LCSD Dept. they came by
and advised him that the tree
had become dangerous and
unstable from the progressing
rot and might fall over in the
next typhoon this summer,
endangering the building and its residents.
The Govt. workers have been climbing
the tree, then felling it today,
just the stump is left now.
Let's hope that they'll plant
another tree on this path-side
patch of public land. But that
would be another Govt. dept.'s
responsibility...

10 Easy Bike Rides
"In this second episode of 10 Easy
Bike rides, DJ and Robbie are
weaving along Lamma Island's
coastal paths as they ride from
one side of the Island to the
the other."
Lamma Island | Hong Kong's Ten
Best Bike Rides
"In this episode of Drone and Phone,
we’re riding Lamma Island's
trail network, taking in some
jumps, flow-trails, climbs, and
a descent through some buttery
berms."

World Environment Day
Taking advantage of World
Environment Day today, HK
Electric arranged visits to the
Lamma Power Station in May and
June for members of the public
and shareholders to learn more
about the adoption of the
sustainability goals in their
daily operations, including
Renewable Energy, Protection of
Natural Resources and Natural
Ecology at the Power Station!
This year, HGK Electric has
adopted "Waste Reduction and
Recycling" as its theme,
organizing environmental talks,
inviting officials to talk about
waste reduction measures,
launching a quiz competition,
encouraging colleagues to donate
used books and small electronic
items for recycling, etc.
