Dear Mr. Rogge. I have followed your work since I first discover them here many months ago. Your excellent historic archive of the old Hong Kong will forever delight those grew up there in the era, especially to countless one who left the great city decades ago. Your work captured the daily life of the people and the allure of the former colony in it's struggle to become the pearl of the Orient.

Look at that lovely blue sky!!! This was before all those dirty factories were built in Shenzhen i guess.
Guys, don't feel awkward if a video camera is filming you! Coz after 50 years, you might be in HK Museum of History lol.

@theloserlose There is one difference, though. Fifty years ago there was little chance of being filmed as few people had a movie camera, whereas nowadays almost everyone seems to have a video camera. So present day images will not be so rare as fifty years ago!

I can see "All xxxx missiles dismantled" in the newspaper. Is that the cuba missiles?

@laujjp Yes, See Artamerican's response two years ago. He made me change the year based on the heading in that newspaper referring to the 1962 missile crisis,
