Volunteer For Lamma Fun Day!
"Lamma Fun Day is entirely run
by volunteers to raise money for
Child Welfare Scheme Hong Kong
(CWS HK) projects in
Nepal.
We are always looking for
volunteers over the festival
weekend to ensure things run
smoothly, including setup/take
down, manning the stalls,
working the bar, or marshalling
for Lamma8. If you are
interested in getting involved,
please click below to register!"

Mai Po Nature Reserve Tour
Visiting Mai Po, finally, after
seeing so many bird photos taken
there by
Lamma Birds
photographers over many years.

Jaybird Fundraiser
"Help our much-loved
Jaybird Lamma get
back on its feet!"
What I like very much about this
fundraiser is that several
restaurants (see below) on the
same YSW Main Street, supposedly
direct "competitors", are
supporting this fundraiser. This
will be a real Lamma Community
event in the true Lamma Spirit!
Give generously!

We Love the Tsui Wah Ferry!
Happy Birthday to
Monita Tsui Wah Ferry!
Thank you for all your work from
your happy passengers!
A few of my favourite photos I
took of their ferry arriving at
the former 'adventurous' Pak Kok
pier. A new, safer pier (see
above) has been completed and
opened just a few years ago.

From Sunrise to Sunset
Wishing you a great day, early
risers on the 6:40am ferry to
town!
Sadly, best-sunsets season is
coming to an end soon:

10 Years Ago
My historic hiking/biking trip
exactly 10 years ago, Sep 16,
2016.
Not much has changed since I
took all these pictures, but my
knees and balance won't support
a trip like this anymore,
unfortunately...

Mid-Autumn Festival Carnival
w/The YSW Curs
The Mid-Autumn Festival holiday
is coming up on Sep 25.
To give you some impression of
the recent
Festival Carnival in the
YSW Football Pitch
(Sep 12, 2026), here's
my photo gallery from 2011 of
this yearly local highlight
event:
This is one of my favourite
Lammaite photos I've ever taken,
the YSW Curs band (formerly Yung
Shue Wankers). They're still
performing live all over HK,
next at
Lamma Fun Day on Nov 14!
In 2011, they were pretending to
be so happy to receive the
little flag from our local
officials for performing at the
Carnival. My photo was inspiring
me to create these Deep Dream
close-up versions:

'G-L-O-R-I-O-U-S.'
David Ogg: "G-L-O-R-I-O-U-S.
Slow trail cruising, lovely
morning light, a touch of
snail-paced magic, and plenty of
love for the trail.
Even though there was some haze
in the morning, it still had a
feeling of enchanted beauty in
so many areas. Made me feel like
I was waking up to a new island
all over again.
Turned what should have been a
quick ride to SKW into a series
of endless stops just to soak it
all in (and snap a few photos,
of course!)."

'POWER Through the Eyes of
AI'
HK
Electric: "Recently, a
netizen shared an AI prompt on
social media that can cleverly
incorporate illustrations into
text! Naturally, our editorial
team keeps up with the times and
is keen to learn alongside you
all, so we tweaked the prompt
slightly to try and generate an
AI image featuring 'Lamma Power
Station + POWER'.
'POWER' doesn't just represent
electricity; it also symbolises
the force driving Hong Kong's
sustainable development! The
image cleverly incorporates
elements of the Lamma Power
Station, capturing a snapshot of
Hong Kong Electric's
operations."

HK Electric Volunteer Team
"In 2004, following a
reorganisation, the HK
Electric Volunteer Team
had around 600 members. They
went out into the community to
carry out electrical safety
checks in the homes of elderly
people living alone, using their
professional expertise to
safeguard the daily lives of
local residents and bring them
peace of mind and warmth.
Today, the HK Electric Volunteer
Team has grown to over 1,100
members. As well as continuing
to apply their electrical
expertise and care for
vulnerable groups, HK Electric
volunteers also actively
participate in cultural heritage
preservation, environmental
protection, sporting events and
various community services,
totalling 4,849 hours of service
in 2025."

'Strange Days Indeed'
Thank
you,
Mute Planet, for another
great photo for me to play with!
Us happily semi-retired people
have too much time on our hands
and some of us are enjoying
playing with AI mage generators
and other creative tools!
"Strange days indeed... Just
like a character in a cartoon
backdrop, our Power Plant was
even caught generating its own
weather!"

Just a Few Sunset Photos
Sunset yesterday, viewed from
the YSW harbourfront, plus a few
from my Pak Kok Village rooftop
from my extensive archives.
Sunset photos are a passion
shared by many Lammaites.

Memories...
Having spent more than half of
my long life in HK by now, I
rarely get homesick anymore,
except when I come across a
drone photo like this.
Sigh, I spent 10 years living
happily in this top-10 world
city, Zurich. In fact, 4 of the top-10
best quality-of-life cities are in Switzerland.
My last Swiss flat was located just
beyond the left edge of this
photo, in the old city just
besides that double-towered
church, the Grossmuenster.
A brother raised a family there,
living there ever since we
shared that flat during my
student days. He's a grandfather
by now.
Zurich named best city in the
world for quality of life

Lagerstroemia Indica L.
HK Electric:
"In
full bloom, a sea of pale purple
flowers adds a splash of summer
colour to the power station.
The
narrow-leaved Crape
Myrtle (Lagerstroemia
indica L.)
is not only ornamental, but is
also said to symbolise
'protection', just as HK
Electric's staff have always
stood firm at their posts,
dedicated to providing a stable
and reliable electricity supply
to Hong Kong Island and Lamma
Island, quietly 'protecting' the
daily lives of the public.
As well as shouldering the
important task of power
generation, the Lamma Power
Station is also home to a
variety of flora and fauna,
highlighting the harmonious
coexistence between industrial
facilities and the natural
ecosystem!
Do
you know what other floral
surprises the Lamma Power
Station has in store? Why not
leave a comment
and let us know!"
