DS, That is a stunning picture of Jardine House.
Amazing that building is 40 years old and still looks original and striking.
In the old days that building was also called the "The house of thousand arseholes" LOL
I guess that had to do with Jardine's domination of the Hong Kong economy during the colonial period.

Thanks - and thanks for the further info. I didn't know what I was shooting... just that the light was hitting it just right! :)
