This is another photo taken under Deep Blue Sky.

It may give you some visual impact because of the contrast color. The red and green signal of the Traffic Light. The yellow (amber) street lamp and the colour of the sky.

Typhoon Chanchu

Location: Wanchai, Hong Kong
Camera: Olympus mju 720 SW

Typhoon Chanchu will go closer to Hong Kong today. The Level 3 strong wind signal was issued by The Hong Kong Observatory this morning.

Chanchu, which means "pearl" (珍珠) in Chinese, was the strongest typhoon ever recorded in the South China Sea during the month of May. However, I cannot feel any strong wind or pouring rain.

Beside, I finally can try the weatherproof capacity of my new Olympus mju 720 SW Digital Camera under the poor weather condition. The outcome is so far so good.

Also, the photo was tagged with GPS information, so you see where I taken the photo by Google Map. Or you can use Opanda IExif (Exif viewer in Windows / IE / Firefox, freeware) to locate it by ourself.
