Hong Kong - 1881 Heritage Main Building
The Main Building of the 1881 Heritage complex in Hong Kong. 

The Former Marine Police Headquarters Compound (Chinese: 前水警總部), located in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, was constructed in 1884. The Main Building of this complex was built as a two-storey structure, the extra storey was added in the 1920s. Another interesting building in the 1881 Heritage compound is <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cnmark/4454128670/">the Ball Tower</a>. The compound is a declared monument and the site is officially renamed as &quot;1881 Heritage&quot;. 

In the background the &quot;1 Peking Road&quot; aka &quot;One Peking&quot; highrise, a 30-floor, 160m tall commercial building - and the first highrise in Hong Kong powered by solar energy.

PP: merged image, from 2 exposures, +/-0EV and -2EV - to preserve detail in the highlights. Exif data from the &quot;bright&quot; exposure. Oh, btw., the photo <b>is</b> straight (check the stairs), but the buildings are all at a slight angle relative to the stairs. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cnmark/5326497555/lightbox/">View it on a black background</a>
