The Golden Computer Centre in Sham Shui Po is the mother of all IT centers... anywhere in the world! Decades ago, when I was first in Hong Kong, it was the place to go for all things pirated... movies, software, video games, you name it, they had it. It's been totally cleaned up and now is strictly monitored by IPR authorities, yet still today it has the broadest and cheapest selection of hardware and software for enthusiasts to buy and build their own computers, as well as to check out the latest and greatest in cameras and electronic gadgets.
It's also where earlier this year I found another cool car reflection for James' Weekend Reflections.
Hong Kong, 2011

Great night light reflection, Francisca... Your travels bring so much to your art...
Fabulous, Francisca. I haven't been to Hong Kong, but I'll bet my husband would love this store.

Wow -- amazing colors. I have a couple of kids who could probably happily live in this store.
all the colors are wonderful
Fantastic image!! Love it. I enjoy images that combine with type or text...this is a fantastic find.
I always look forward to your posts - I never know where you will showing us next!
You have all the best reflections anywhere in the world! Happy weekend.
Reflections and shadows always make for great eye candy:)
You're right. This is a very cool reflection.
Very interesting story and great reflection! Hope you are having a good weekend...
My husband loves computer centers, and we have been to a few. Not sure if we have been to this one, but I'll let him know anyway. Thanks.
if you go to Singapore, it is Sim LIm square of Funan centre. I hate the place because I am not a geek.
You certainly DO get around! Yes, a very cool reflection!
Hong Kong is the place for all the colorful neon lights.
Re my mall photos were taken in low light and I only adjusted the white balance. There was so much light at the mall entrance, and I had to darken the color.
