June 14:  Tony the Coffee Guy

We love these cups from "Tony the Coffee Guy" who's specialising in selling only really nice hot/cold coffee in the mornings from the Spanish rest. counter when the rest. is still closed.

After enjoying my coffee, I've been reminiscing with the regular patron with the unmissable, distinctive trademark laugh, audible far along YSW Main Street (in the background) about our "Lamma forum" days.

He posted there frequently when I administered and co-moderated the forum in the pre-Facebook/social media days.

The forum is still online but sleeping now, archived for "historical" purposes, a real insight into Lamma and its often very quirky characters in the early 2,000s.

June 11:  Solar Rooftops in Sok Kwu Wan

An interactive 360-degree photo bubble, shot from a drone flying high over SKW harbour. Move around in any direction and zoom in on specific points of interest.

For example, notice the many solar cells on rooftops in this touristy fishing village full of seafood restaurants:

June 10:  Fisherman in the Fishermen's Village

"Fisherman Fung Siu-shing prepares his net in Yung Shue Wan, Lamma Island, before venturing out to sea in 1989.

This B/W photo is very nice, but a bit of colour added might be even nicer, using Nick the Bookman's motto of "Psychedelic as Hell":

What else is happening in the Fishermen's Village, just off the YSW ferry pier? See one of my own all-time favourite photo shoots:

June 3:  In Love With Lamma 2026 Calendar: June

AI synergy of my 3 inserted, real photos above, creating an imaginary scene of Pak Kok harbour, 10 minutes from YSW on the ferry to Aberdeen.
I've used this scene as the June picture of my In Love With Lamma 2026 online/print calendar:

June 2:  Lamma Rock Hunting & Naming

This ledge above, called Sky Rock or Sitting Rock colloquially, seems to have become a major attraction for local visitors - see #lammaisland - for intrepid hikers and wannabe daredevils, like Riza Ancheta.

Sha Ron has been feeling accomplished at Lamma Island 南丫島! She has been rock hunting behind Mt. Stenhouse and even naming some of them!
"Cauliflower Rock is the most challenging one."
