Pick Up in Raft Bay
The fisher folk used timber as floating bridges. Photographing themes about water require back lighting to create a glittering effect and result in a bright reflection. In the 1960s the landfills in Cheung Sha Wan were used for temporary timber storage. The huge timber pieces were tied together but because of their unequal weight they did not serve as steady support. The timber was stained but remained premium material.
