HK Kowloon City Singapore Airlines over shop!.jpg

For some 20+ years we ran a business selling silk fabrics from the top floor and roof of a Tong Lau in Fok Loh Tsun Road in Kowloon CIty. Nearly every customer would venture on to our roof and have his/her hair parted by incoming planes.

One day I went downstairs into the street and, after waiting just a few minutes, took this picture. We had it printed as a postcard and the printer added our name as a little embellishment!
