Sooo, today I went to Wong Tai Sin temple.
And Chi Lin Nunnery
Look at that beauty seen in one of those lotus ponds within the monastery.
Breathtaking - a dragonfly
Lotus pond
Afterwards I went again to Devil`s Peak. I`m 100% positive that this is the place, where some scenes from BITH have been shot. No one was around, so I went down ...
I didn`t went inside, you never know what is inside crawling around.
Again I sat there for quite some time and was awarded a beautiful sun set.
... hope you enjoy ... _________________ Water which is too pure has no fish. |

Hello Heike
Thanks a lot for the unseen pics in Hk. I'm not bored to see your pics and reading your story here.
How was your memory card ? You try to search the info to repair it on Google? Perhaps you will find the answers. |

That's wired . If I were you, I would still get an inexpensive new memory card, just in case you overwrite your precious selfies and make them impossible to recover ...
Your pics are as beautiful as always, I've never seen a dragon fly so pink/red . Is it a HK speciality . |

Glad you like my photos! Here is a link about dragonflies in HK.

None as beautiful as mine of course.
Regarding the memorycard, I've got some time now between my run and lunch meeting and will try to find a software to recover my pics. Will let you know if it works. _________________ Water which is too pure has no fish. |

Today I went with Agnes for Dim Sum.
In the afternoon I went to the MTR station Tin Hau to visit the Tin Hau temple there but unfortunately I was too late and the temple was already closed.
I can`t remember ever been inside, maybe I`ll come back. _________________ Water which is too pure has no fish. |

Good luck with your memory card
Today I dug out my BITH DVD and did some screen captures..... The hiding place, as you mentioned was definitely filmed at a some kind of fortification. Heike, you now can make sure if it was devil's peak

Yes, you are good .
I did this is for Tin-Yau to confirm wether Devil's Peak she went a couple of days ago was indeed the film location for this scene . I think her first shot could almost be superimposed onto my third one . |

Thanks for the screen shots yitian! I am 100% sure this is the place.
And btw it really seems I could rescue the photos on my mobile. Seems the freeware: testdisc did the job. But for sure I will check at home. But isn`t that scary? One is taking photos and then - gone? Waaahh.
As for today, a dream came true and thanks to Tina I finally could visit Tai Long Wan in Sai Kung. We have been on a bit more then a 6 hours hike along parts of McLehose stages 1 and 2. It was wonderful to hike in such a lovely countryside. As for what is what maybe you Tina can help, I forgot some of the names already.
Beautiful rock formation near the east dam.
Sai wan?
The Tai Long Wan area, which includes 4 beaches.
High Island Reservoir
A cow was blocking our way, she moved from the bridge all right but stopped right on the path we wanted to walk. So I patted her on her butt a bit and finally she moved. Nice and calm creature.
And finally a bit of wildlife along the way.
Abandoned buildings - nature is taking over.
The translation from the cantonese name is four legged snake. I have no idea about the english one.
And this little guy wasn`t scared at all.
... enjoy ... _________________ Water which is too pure has no fish. |

I enjoyed the hike with you together a lot, Heike!
Actually you've got most of the names correct. I only have a few supplements:
Pic No 2: This is Long Ke Wan
Pic No 5: This is Sai Wan, the first beach of Tai Long Wan
Pic no 6: These are the other three beaches of Tai Long Wan: Ham Tin Wan, Tai Wan and Tung Wan |

So glad all your precious pics will be saved .
Really enjoying watching your beautiful pics of beaches and blue/green water . Thanks as always.
As for the "4 legged snake", I think it's some kind of lizard ...... And I was wondering what would you do if the cow didn't move . Maybe you can sit on her back to cross the narrow bridge ...... and show us a riding picture |

Haha yitian, I guess you would love to see that. Thank you very much!
Now serious, I grew up on the country side, so I know how to handle these animals. IF they are not agitated, let them see you, just pat them, important - talk to them with a calm voice and if necessary push them gently and they will move. Actually I spoke in german to her that day.
Glad you guys like the pics! _________________ Water which is too pure has no fish. |

Not much from today. I met Agnes for lunch for dim sum. What why again you ask. Come on you know it, because it's so much fun and one just can't get enough of it.
Thursday evening around this time I'm in the plane back home already. Waahh that makes me sad. _________________ Water which is too pure has no fish. |
