Jing took this last night on her iPhone 12 |
This is an amazing and slightly strange photo. Taken in our back yard patio looking up in the night sky through our Poinciana. It’s completely un-edited and un-filtered, but at 2x zoom. That’s as is and for some reason the AI in the iPhone 12 makes the sky that pastel colour and the branches whisky like a Chinese painting. The whole effect is rather like a Chinese ink painting.
The Poinciana has many other names, in English “Flame of the Forest”, in Chinese Fenghuang Shu, 凤凰树, meaning “Phoenix Tree”.
That’s what we need in Hong Kong now, a bit of the spirit of the Phoenix. What the world needs, TBF.
