Open-Space Gallery and Wanchai Street Photography
14th March 2024
Ever since I joined this platform, I developed a fondness for capturing simple little things and candid moments of everyday life while walking in public streets and places; the urban setting, interesting architecture, bustling city life, street art, fleeting expressions, and others. It's my other way of connecting with my surroundings and finding inspiration from them.
These photographs were taken again in Wanchai after my Chiro Theraphy on my way to finding Lee Tung Avenue. I never leave a place without taking some photos that I can add to my collections. Although I hate my phone's camera sometimes, I still love capturing things around me. I am hoping to buy a new one soon.
The striking Chinese Methodist church standing in between traffic intersection was the first building that caught my attention. It's pretty impressive and unique showing a fusion of Chinese and Western architectural styles. It is one of the known landmarks in Wanchai and is captivating for its red brick structure.
I should say that trams are also part of attractions in Wanchai.
Another striking piece of architecture is the One Henessy building known for its inverted pyramid structure. This is one of the prominent commercial buildings in Hong Kong, and I am sure that its interior is as unique and modern as its exterior design. Its glass panels and walls reflect its surroundings and the sky in good weather.
Anything with art captures my attention, just like Ying N Flo Wesley. I initially thought it was a school, but it's actually a hotel. The whole left base facade is covered with cute art murals showing kids with food.
Next time, I'll try dining at Red Cafe City and El Taquero. Their names are interesting.
Some candid shots along the bustling streets of Wanchai.
Resting places are adorned with Chinese lanterns. They are captivating too.
A huge Egyptian mural at the Pacific Place lobby area which I immediately noticed from the distance.
Open Space Gallery
Just outside Pacific Place is Tai Fat Hau Footbridge connecting to Hennessy Road. Center posts throughout the footbridge are painted with art murals by different artists, featuring the diverse and rich culture of Hong Kong, as well as daily life scenes of Hong Kong streets.
Those art murals reflect Hong Kong's history and culture, and this exhibition brings attention to the forgotten stories. The messages they convey would definitely leave an impact on passersby who would notice those vibrant art murals. But for some, they are simply designs on the footbridge.
Have you encountered an open-space gallery while walking along city streets?
Thanks for your time.

Woow... All these photographs are so beautiful, and unique.
I am not good at photography I like to capture colours that my eyes see but whenever I capture them they are turned into something strange that dishearts me.... But still I will learn to capture photographs too in future
Thanksm it's just a matter of practice, but a better camera is much better 😁
I also started practicing capturing photographs in daily basis but somehow it has been reduced again. I need to revive the habit.
By the way, all the photographs were captured pretty well.

Great display of photography and with a phone you don't like taking pictures with, hehe. Nice murals and love the new age glass buildings. So many of us I believe take pictures for the thought of showing it in one of our blogs. Even I have some in my locked galleries only seen by me 😂
