Dear Vicky: Cloudy Queen

I’m taking a short break from the Vicky Noir series today. Inspired by fellow Hong Konger Sarah Best’s note-I am a fake-ish Hong Konger-, I am posting some photos about, well, clouds.

Situated in the sub tropical pacific, our beloved Vicky is a bit of a drama queen. There’s never a shortage of severe weathers, typhoons, rainstorms and monsoons, etc. Whatever the weather, the clouds always add a little extra kick. This time of year is just about the best cloud season in Hong Kong: the wind comes in from the south, keeping the northern smog at bay, dryer air between the rainy April and the steamy summer. It’s also a good time to hike.

On to the photos.

Here’s a view I’m never tired of.

Cotton candy weather.

This counts as cloud I’m sure.

That’s for today! Good day/afternoon/evening/night!
