Should be down to 7 degrees C by tomorrow. I was on the Peak today to meet a friend for lunch and arrived early enough to walk a bit on Lugard Road. On Sundays it is usually crowded with walkers but today the weather kept everyone away. Here's a view down the Road: <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Howard+Cummer/HK201314/LugardBWw.jpg.html> http://tinyurl.com/kmg7uc9 And here is the Peak Tram station in the fog. Sometimes you just can't see the panorama of Hong Kong from the Peak. Yet the tour buses kept showing up. You pays your money and takes your chances, I guess. <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Howard+Cummer/HK201314/PeakBwW.jpg.html> http://tinyurl.com/mpp2q4c Taken with the Oly M1 and the 12 - 40 zoom. I tested the water proofing of the camera and lens quite extensively and am happy to report a pass with flying colours. Please look large. C&C always welcome. Howard
