The city that never sleeps

For some reason, maybe because I grew up here, I think that Hong Kong is one of the most interesting and dynamic places to photograph. It is just an environment that I find so inspiring, and I never really seem to find that anywhere else, other than perhaps my other home - Genoa, Italy.

Maybe it's the hyperactive energy of the city that never sleeps, dazzling and illuminating the darkness with its neon signs and whizzing traffic.

Maybe it's all the interesting characters that you see in the infamous crowds shuffling among the soaring skyscrapers in one of the most densely populated cities in the world.

Maybe it's just because it's home.

Oh and for those interested, during the capturing of this photograph, I climbed up the barrier of an overpass and perched over the edge for 15-20 minutes trying to get the settings right and then a decent shot. Not recommended for those with a fear of heights.
