Taking back the waterfront...
尋回岸邊空間...

This photo was taken at Hong Kong's Quarry Bay waterfront where part of the Eastern Corridor (a flyover highway) stands.
It is also on a strip of reclaimed land (land made by filling a body or water or part of a body of water with a huge amount of heavy rock and/or cement).
Access to the bridge piers supporting the Eastern Corridor was mostly blocked, but people do find their ways to the space under the flyover to get close to water, go recreational fishing, take smoke breaks, or have me-time.
The person in the photo put on snorkel gear on his head, but couldn't do any aquatic activities in the water.

這照片是在鰂魚涌海旁拍攝,那兒是東區走廊的一部分, 也位於填海土地上(透過用大量大石和水泥填充海牀而形成的土地)。
東區走廊的橋墩大都沒有通道可進入,但人們卻找到了前往橋下空間的方法,以更接近水邊、釣魚、抽煙或享受寧靜的時光。
照片中的人於頭上戴著浮潛裝備,雖然就在水邊,但卻無法進行水上活動。
