@greatguy52 I started taking pictures of them in 1949!

[@michaelijsbrand]

No, 16mm sound on film cameras were hardly available at the time. I'm adding HK sounds to silent films, though.

I filmed this area in 1974 using a Chinon 8mm sound movie camera, the only sound 8mm handicam available. Love your videos , Michael.

Good sound. Thanks Micheal. Very colorful. I can visulize the families eating and cooking sleeping playing games at night on their boats. 🌍❤💤🙋

@gggu I think it is Ap Lei Chau as the shelter is located between Ap Lei Chau and Aberdeen. If the travelers was standing in Aberdeen, they must be looking towards Ap Lei Chau. ^^

The place is called Aberdeen, an old fishing port.

At 2:57 is the site for The Chinese Permenant Cementery.

the villages and fish ponds in SZ (shot from border) are all disappeared, now SZ is a 10million populated big city.
