The other sides of rides - and what these used to be like

I pretty rarely take pics of rides, such a schlep to stop, get the phone out, sweating like a beast, etc; so if I have in the past, like the one in the previous post, it's usually out on the road to the country park or Po Toi O.  So here's the other side of the ride, down from the hills and through the flatlands out the back of Tseung Kwan O - or put another way, the outer edges of The Dark City.  I stopped at a garage for a water top-up, and took these pics.  It's super urbanised - and the reason to get up early - you don't want to be sharing the streets with all the folk still asleep in these buildings.  If you look closely at the building on the right hand side, about two-thirds of the way up, you can see a bit of bamboo scaffolding sticking out - someones getting a new aircon, so there's some bloke who's working out there installing it.  Pretty terrifying stuff.  Contrast the two pics below, with the third on the bottom.  I took that pic last week from the window of Jacques' office - its the 1960's version of the modern housing estates.  Pretty incredible.  Much higher density, and almost a city of its own.
