The hills around the China / New Territories Hong Kong border are covered in tombs. Much of the area is inaccessible, except on foot. The departed wanted to be buried in their homeland, China, but that practice was not permitted. They were interred by their loved ones as close as physically possible:On the green hills, next to the river that once divided a British colony and what was seen as a hostile nation. Barbed wire and video surveillance remain, as do the resting places the dead, still maintained by relatives granting a wish as best they could.

To the photo geeks: If anyone knows how to cut-down on urban haze/smog, be it a filter or digital processing solution, please drop me a line.
Sorry, can’t help you. Neat pic though.
Wanda Rizzutos last blog post..Hello.
Thanks, Wands.
If you get an answer or figure it out on your own, please let me know. Even out in the country there is haze to contend with on humid days.
Wanda’s right. Neat pic. Sad that people couldn’t be buried in their homeland.

I bought my camera because the salesman said it was idiot proof. It isn’t.
Sad and beautiful photo, Stevo.
