I spent at least an hour in one place waiting for the lights to change to capture the endless traffic whizzing by. I often return to this spot to photograph Nathan Road. My cue that traffic was about to halt was the ticking sound for the visually impaired coming from pedestrian crosswalk lights signaling that it was safe to cross. This sound always reminds me of Hong Kong.

Street Scenes: Nathan Road Hong Kong
Hong Kong’s Nathan Road is a neon and concrete canyon. Located in Kowloon, a peninsula at the tip of mainland China which points to the South China Sea, it includes one of the world’s most densely populated neighborhoods.
