Jardines House was one of Hong Kong's first true skyscraper buildings. Up close, it offers all sorts of creative and unusual views with its many circular 'porthole' style windows. This particular photo presents a "Can you guess what it is?" perspective to what is simply an architectural view. The original image had so little colour that I decided to convert it to mono; it works better as a true black and white adding to the simplicity of the picture.

Incidentally, local residents (with a habit of nicknaming everything) call the building The House of a Thousand Arseholes, allegedly a reference to both the windows and the employees contained within!

Location: Hong Kong Island, Peoples' Republic of China.
