Victoria Harbour, Hong Kong view map

The rocketing fuel price sparked off a fisherman protest in Victoria Harbour on 28 June 2008.
The fishermen requested the Hong Kong Government to subsidise their fuel costs.

Fuel... the blood of our entire planet, for the moment. Most are unhappy about the high cost of fuel, others are very happy. Among those who are happy are first, the arabs, the producers and rafineries, then all governments as the amount of taxes collected is proportionate to the prices, it,s based on the % of the prices. And, here in America, especially the USA and Canada... the economists indicate that it will bring back the jobs here. After being invaded by cheap Chinese goods, due to China's limitless and cheap if not free labor... the high cost of fuel means that to ship those goods to America, the shipping prices will make it so that it'll be more advantageous to produce here, finally. This is simply what the econimists are saying these days...
Other than that, this is a great photo CM, the colors are superb.

Hi CM,
This is a wonderful scene with perfect details. I hope it works for them I never thought about how the fuel prices would affect fishermen. \/
