View from Shamrock Kowloon

You'll want to click through to Flickr for the original-size version of this - there's lots to see.

In the distance are the black, circular oil tanks, with breakwater beyond that. It looks as though there is a landing craft passing by, a little distance out to sea.

Right from that is the Jordan Road ferry terminal, with lots of buses parked outside it.

thanks to hksparky for pointing these photos out... This is an unusual view - I'm wondering if it's from Stonecutters. You can see Lion Rock on the right
