| SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 21 - Gushan ferry and marina area. Nikon N70, Ilford XP2 Super. There's a ferry under the bridge heading to Cijin Island a few minutes away. |
 |
| Kaohsiung Harbor. Ferry in the bottom pic. Hazy day. |
 |
| Scenes outside Kaohsiung Harbor but within the breakwaters that help guide ships in. |
 |
| There's a lighthouse atop that rock at the harbor entrance. |
 |
| The British Consulate at Takao, now a tourist destination and a bit of local history. Takao is how the characters for Kaohsiung 高雄 is pronounced in Japanese and what it was called under Japanese rule. Actually I think it was originally called Takow in Chinese with different characters, and it was the Japanese who established the current Chinese characters according to the pronunciation of Takow in Japanese. After WWII the city kept those characters (directly translating to "high hero") which are pronounced Kaohsiung in Chinese. |
 |
| The consulate occupied higher ground with modest panoramic views. The harbor lighthouse is more apparent in the top photo from this height. |
 |
| From inside the consulate. It's a museum now with a nice cafe, popular with locals and tourists for its proximity to the water. |
 |
| Gushan ferry pier. |
 |
| I think all my photostrolls along the harbor include walking along the railroad. |
 |
| 4:29-4:30 p.m. - Pulling out my Canon digital as almost an afterthought on my way back to my uncle's. Shooting for color. |
 |
| FEBRUARY 22 - Palettes. Again along the waterfront. |
 |
| Railroad becoming recreational paths and art. 85 Robot building in the haze. |
 |
| 228 Peace Park |
 |
| 11:22-11:37 a.m. - Lantern Festival along Love River. Now, I know what you're thinking. It's the year of the tiger, so why is there a lantern of a giant . . . I'm pretty sure it's supposed to depict the island of Taiwan. If you look really hard, it sort of looks like Taiwan. It's lit up at night and glows. It's a vagina that GLOWS!! |
 |
| Year of the tiger's prey. |
 |
| Year of the very, very, very disturbing sexy tiger. |
 |
| Year of the Tigger. |
 |
| Giant white tiger vs. 85 Robot Building. |
 |
| 11:42 a.m. - Kaohsiung 228 Peace Park. Open in new tab for full size to read all the typos. |
