At some point I took a ferry from Kowloon to Hong Kong island to wander among the high-rises near the waterfront and found myself in Exchange Square.
Here you'll find the imaginatively named Exchange Square Block 1 and Exchange Square Block 2. Brilliant! (to quote a Guinness Ad).
As one might guess from the name, this site houses the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and an accoutrement of banks, law firms and other ne'er-do-wells.
I'm pretty sure this is a view to the south-westish which puts Block 1 on the left and Block 2 on the right. I was struck by the symmetry of the buildings. Seeking to do something different than capturing both buildings in their entirety with the perennial perspective problem, I chose instead to use a telephoto and crop in more tightly. I did need to use the perspective tool in Lightroom 4 to get the parallel lines but my original slide wasn't off by much.
The reflection of the one building in the other provides the cross hatching and the richer blue tones. If you look in the lower right edge you can see the round windows of the neighboring Jardine building reflected in the glass of Block 2 – another tell that this is a south-westish view.
