Darkness on the edge, shadows where I stand

I search for the time on a watch with no hands

I want to see you clearly, come closer than this

But all I remember are the dreams in the mist...

(These Dreams, Heart)

Victoria Harbour, Hong Kong

I usually do this exclusively on Instagram but who cares? There are no rules anyway. So this one's another retro for today's Flashback Friday :)

Marina Bay, Singapore

“...light becomes evident in darkness. We do not create light by avoiding those who are captives of darkness; but we become light by illuminating the night."

― C. JoyBell C.

I already had this photo posted on Hamlet's Lair in July 2012 but only shared it on IG early February 2013. Asia Travelgram featured it in July 2013.

Victoria Harbour at night

World famous for its Symphony of Lights, Victoria Harbour is HK's top tourist attraction where you can enjoy spectacular views of HK's skyline, Avenue of Stars, and the Clock Tower among others.

Posted this on IG sometime in February 2013 and was featured on World Shooters in July 2013.

Starry, starry night.

Paint your palette blue and grey,

Look out on a summer's day,

With eyes that know the darkness in my soul.

I think this excerpt from the song 'Vincent' is appropriate for this picture as it reminds me of one of the most renowned paintings in history.

The song was written as a tribute and reference to van Gogh's life and oil on canvas work 'The Starry Night'.

The world was dark and God made stars to brighten up the night 

But God who put the stars above I don't believe made those lights 

For it's just a place for men to cry when things don't turn out right 

Just a place to run away and hide behind those city lights. 

- from the song City Lights by Ray Price

JESUS is the true Light of Christmas.

Merry Christmas everyone!

“I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” John 8:12 NIV
