"This Lamma festival will be held at Terrible Baby @ The Eaton Hotel and includes a large art and crafts market and ten top bands from Lamma and beyond.

Lamma Fun Day will be back on 15th Nov 2025 on and off Power Station Beach with 4 stages featuring the some of the best bands in Hong Kong, 3 bars, an arts and crafts market, Lamma 8 charity run, charity auction and some fantastic food vendors."

The Art Jam looks very interesting! It's been a while (almost 20 years!) since I've joined such an event. Hosted back then by by the same famous Lamma Artist, Tamara Norris.

"Yung Shue Wan's leading art critics - Mr DickStock (note the artsy shirt!) and the Official Court Artist - are trying in vain to grasp the deeper meaning of Lamma-Gung's first-ever canvas "painting".
Can you help them to decipher it, as L-G doesn't have the faintest idea either?"

P.S. Tamara comments: "That was one of the first Art Jams I hosted - my company, Vivid Vibrations, was brand new!!"

"HK Electric supports a public bus operator in setting up mid-route charging points at Central Ferry Pier and HK Station Bus Termini, enabling electric double decker buses to recharge during their operation hours."

"HK Electric supports the installation of charging infrastructure at North Point Ferry Pier (blue equipment shown in the photo)."

"Through its Smart Power Services programme, the Company has been actively facilitating the electrification of various public transport modes, including buses and ferries.
HK Electric is also working closely with operators of conventional petrol stations to install high-speed EV charging facilities at their sites, contributing to Hong Kong’s goal of achieving carbon neutrality..."

This family centre is located inside the ex-Lamma Quarry and has been running really great and fun events & experiences for families all over HK for quite a number of years, leasing the entire area.
But with the just announced Govt. plans to turn it all into an "eco-tourism" area & housing, what will happen to the YMCA centre?

I'll be selling pictures from 3 of my former (solo) exhibitions this Sunday, at Restaurant 80, just off Power Station Beach from 2-6pm. It made me fondly remember my first-ever solo exhibition, 2 floors in a just-opened art gallery right in the city center, just a few steps from Lake Zurich:

P.S. Market cancelled because of typhoon signal was raised all day. Next event first Sunday on Oct.

Yesterday's 6:30pm sunset ferry YSW-Central HK. Passengers on ferries to/from Lamma at dawn or dusk during these summer months are often treated to the ever-changing, often fiery spectacle of sunrise or sunset!

View from the official HK Observatory's live webcam atop the YSW ferry pier. It's updated every 5 minutes and saved for 2 days in this format (copy link and change date and time):

"To mark National Ecology Day 2025, Green Hong Kong Green (GHKG) programme has once again organised its summer-exclusive Night Safari, inviting members of the public to explore the nocturnal wonders at Tai Tam Country Park and Lamma Island.

Participants ventured into Tai Tam Country Park, where they were treated to a unique “ecological symphony” led by native frogs and other nocturnal wildlife.

Without pop singers or instrumental accompaniment, this unique summer symphony was orchestrated solely by nature in full voice. As night fell, the park came alive with rhythmic croaking frogs, chirping insects, and calling birds, blending into a refreshing and melodious soundtrack of nature."

HK Electric's General Manager (Public Affairs) John Liauw (back row, 1st from left) joined the night tour, promoting environmental awareness through first-hand exploration of local nocturnal wildlife.

Jointly organised by HK Electric and The Conservancy Association (CA), the GHKG programme has been in active operation since 2005. For more details, please visit the Green HK Green Facebook page, HK Electric’s YouTube channel or website, or the CA website.

"Guided by the eco-leaders from the "Green Hong Kong Green" programme, participants discover the nighttime wonders."

P.S. A very similar eco-tour in South Lamma I joined a few years ago: Night Safari @ Sok Kwu Wan.
