Photo of the Day: November in Macau

June 16, 2011

While on an 11 day trip to China, my friend Jalin and I decided to spend a few days exploring the island of Macau. From the bustle of Hong Kong’s majestic harbor we ferried our way to Macau’s lazy tropical shores. Colonized by the Portuguese, it felt more like Mediterranean Europe than South East Asia. Tiled church squares, Spanish architecture and pastel coloured roads.

This photograph was taken in old Macau just a few feet from Lord Stow’s Bakery, known to have the best egg tarts on the island. Barring a few local visitors, we were the only ones on that street. The light was as warm as it looks. It felt like we had traveled back in time.
