Hong Kong: Urban Sketching

Hello everyone :) WalaGemini here. Is everyone anticipating their Christmas holiday and presents?
I just finished my last 3 final essays...It was a stressful and long week..
Hope everyone is having a better week than me :)

Today I would like to share with you some postcards I bought online.
Some of you may probably have heard of it.
It is called The Art of Urban Sketching.


The box contains 100 postcards that have different drawings of cities views on them. While most of them are paintings, some are black and white and some are drawn with ball pens.

The ones I'd like to share with you are postcards with Hong Kong illustrations on them.
They are all very beautiful postcards and made me realize how awesome my city actually is.




A street view of Wing Lee Street. Although the houses seemed to be old, there are still people living these apartments.


A Star Ferry that runs on the Victoria Habour everyday. Its a rather short ride but you're guaranteed to get a nice view of Hong Kong on a sunny day.


View from the Peak. Hong Kong is definitely a city that is packed with buildings.














An older fisher's boat that is still in use. Usually spotted in Sai Kung and Quarry Bay areas where people fish for a living.












What do you think? Do you think these gives a realistic representation of Hong Kong today?
Would you like to visit this city if you knew nothing about Hong Kong but these pictures?
Tell me what you think :)

Hope you enjoy these postcards :)
Have a fabulous day :)
