Earlier this month, I posted an account of a location near the western end of San Tin Tsuen Road that offered quite an impressive display of lotus flowers. We didn’t pass that way again until Saturday, and as we approached, I suggested that we see whether the display was still as vibrant as it had been on that initial occasion. It was!
In fact, the display was even more spectacular than it had been two weeks earlier. Here are two photos looking up the small stream, which as you can see is choked with lotus plants:
Naturally, I wanted to scramble down to the bank to see whether I could get some closer shots. Here is a selection:
The red colour near the top of the previous photo is from a large bougainvillea on the other side of the road:
As you can see, even though it was before 10 o’clock, quite a few other people were also there taking photos. Some were ‘serious’ photographers armed with tripods and 400mm telephoto lenses.
I finished by taking a couple of photos from the side, looking down from the road:
This is an enlarged version of part of the last photo:
We shall be heading off to the UK for the summer in a couple of weeks, and I don’t expect to pass this way again during that period, but we shall be looking out again for this lotus garden next year.
