Sep 11:  Nature vs. Civilization: 1:0

Concreted path to a house building site. Might need a machete.

Busiest road on Lamma? Power Station Road gate at back.

Banana trees taller than village houses.

Past-typhoon cleanup. Even some rooftop solar cells didn't survive.

Sep 5: Last Ferries Before Super Typhoon YAGI

Super Typhoon YAGI will be closest to HK around the time when typhoon signal T8 will be raised at 18:20 today.

Our friends moved from Lamma to Hainan and will get hit directly by those 220km/hour Super Typhoon winds. Checking on them...

Some Lamma bars will remain open for our customary typhoon parties! Lamma Grill writes:
"It's a typhoon day, which means only one thing… let's PARTY!
$40 on all standard drinks from 11am until we close (whenever that may be!)"

Sep 2:  R.I.P. Steve Cray

I am very sad to hear of the passing of many of our friend and Lamma celebrity Steve Cray. The Red Star has Risen (his famous band Red Star Rising); we will miss you.
So many memories by current and former Lammaites!
Rest in Peace!

This is how I'll personally remember Steve as The Electrifying Performer, Mr. October of my LammaCelebrityCam 2008 calendar, based on photos I took at Lamma Fun Day where he performed.

Steve's gigs with his band, photo stories in the SCMP and other news outlets, photos of him and by him have been featured quite often in the Lamma-zine over the last 22 years. My favourite story:

Lamma-zine Mar 1, 2007:
Congrats to Award-Winning Prof Red Star:

Lamma's Photojournalist, Rock God and Biblical Scholar, Prof Red Star, has won the best science news reporting award in the annual Hong Kong News Awards. The SCMP wrote:
"Steve Cray won the best science news reporting award for his series on British physicist Stephen Hawking. He also received an honourable mention for another science story...."
