Grow Up and Blow Away
October 1st, 2009 | Categories: Travel | 8 Comments
When I was in Ocean Park in Hong Kong (the same park that featured the corn pandas), I snapped this picture when on the cable car going from one side of the park to the other. I have no idea how this picture managed to turn out as artsy as it did, but I absolutely love it. I love the darkness of the hot air balloon and the setting and the relative lightness of the sky – I just think it’s beautiful1. Oh, and brownie points for those who get the title reference of this entry.
In other news, I’m back from my hiatus! I didn’t really get up to anything exciting in the month or so I’ve been away, but I’ll touch upon what I did accomplish/experience in tomorrow’s entry.
- I probably should be able to analyze this photo using the correct terminology seeing as one of my classes is about photography, but I haven’t read the required textbook readings for that class yet. Oops. [↩]

Hi, I'm Manda. I'm a college student studying communications and languages. I like to read, shop, bake, and travel. I have a tendency to listen to my favorite songs on repeat for hours on end. Sometimes I catch myself thinking in a language other than English. 
Welcome back to you too, Manda! I’ve been MIA as well but unlike you, it’s been more than 2 months for me until I finally decided to update. Hehe.
And I have to agree with Krissy when I saw the title of the entry. Yaay for Metric! :D It definitely fits the picture. :)
Yay! Welcome back! :D *clings to your blog*
‘Tis a very lovely photo indeed! I didn’t know you were taking a photography class either. Very awesome! :D
(And yay Metric reference! :D)
Welcome back, Manda! I’m taking a break from blogging (not that I ever did much blogging anyway), which is going on over two months now and I’m still not quite sure I’m ready to get back into it…
Anyways, it’s a gorgeous, gorgeous picture!
Welcome back! I want to ride on one of those!
It’s definitely a gorgeous picture :D
That is a lovely picture. I love how shadowy it is. It almost looks black and white, until you look more closely. And, yaaay, Grow Up and Blow Away. *opens iTunes*
That’s a really cool photo! The lighting in it is pretty awesome. It’s great that you’re back as well!
Beautiful photo! I love it! And welcome back from your hiatus! I’ve missed you!
