Nam Sang Wai

 
Date: 20 Feb 2011
Venue: Nam Sang Wai in New Territories
 
Invited by Anna, Ricky and I joined her and went to Nam Sang Wai on a cloudy Sunday - it wasn’t a very cheerful day!  Now when I think about it, it could only be a cloudy day that you could take some moody pictures…

This is what you see when you get into NSW.

After crossing a stream, you step into Nam Sang Wai.  The vintage wooden floor… hm, I had a nice feeling about this place.

There are indeed people living there!  Actually NSW is a huge wetland area where is home to many birds.

There was a fire broke out earlier this year… as you can see from the photos, it kinda giving some eerie feeling… a cloudy day, burned wood… all was quite depressing.

Grass is slowly growing back - there is always hope.

There is a pond inside NSW, and a pier too.  Many couples love taking their wedding shots at that spot (on the left).  I don’t see how special it is.  The colours of the place inspire me.

We walked a long way in NSW.  It is a huge place.  You can spend a whole day walking there.  I am serious!  We bumped into this man who uses Nikon too.  He lent me his glass lens and I took some shots.  Wah.  The colours are vivid!

And we walked pass those abandoned houses… Anna said she felt she was touched by someone - Ricky and I said we didn’t - may be she was touched by something… that idea was very scary!!!

The whole place gave me a very nice feeling.  When we were about to leave (at around 5pm), there was a fog coming… Anna said she couldn’t stay because she had to catch a ferry home, I didn’t want to stay on my own… So we left.  I wish we had stayed for the fog.
 
As I said earlier, NSW is home to many birds.  Even though I didn’t bring my 200mm lens, I still got a nice bird shot :D

And we left.
