What are they protesting?


2 Samuel 9:7-8, "So David said to him, “Do not fear, for I will surely show you kindness for Jonathan your father’s sake, and will restore to you all the land of Saul your grandfather; and you shall eat bread at my table continually.” Then he bowed himself, and said, “What is your servant, that you should look upon such a dead dog as I?”

Hong Kong Queen's Pier, the traditional landing point for visiting dignitaries including Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Diana, has been occupied since April, 2007 by activists trying to stop it being destroyed for a new bypass under the terms of the Central Reclamation Phase III works contract.

Good job at keeping up the journalistic series. :) So photography is just your hobby -- you're not doing this for a newspaper or something... just for posterity. Cool. :) Keep sharing.

Have you sold any photos to the newspaper? I'm sure it's probably already got the attention of the media but these photos are taken with emphasis on the activists. It shows how much they care for the pier.

No, the newspaper usually taken by different point of view... which mean less artist.. :)
