Mid Levels Escalator, Central, Hong Kong
Much has been written about Hong Kong's escalator system, the longest covered stretch of moving walkway in the world, but it continues to fascinate and captivate me. Designed to relieve the steep streets of Victoria from executive-filled taxis making their way to and from exclusive mid-level apartments, the escalators instead created a whole new class of commuters – people making the trip up to the roads of SoHo – and in the process created a vibrant area of shops, bars and restaurants that remains an oasis of (mostly) relaxed calm within the mayhem of Hong Kong Island.

Marinmuseum Karlskrona
Taken during the League of Worlds conference Karlskrona, in October 2007. This was the venue, and fittingly dream-like, on a small island, and much like being in a virtual world.
