I thought I'd show some of the wonderful things of the park. So, without too much preamble, here are a few of the recent additions within the Sai Kung Country Park that astonish me. At the risk of over-egging the park pudding, I can honestly say that each day I see something new and on each occasion I am filled with a sense of genuine wonder. They're nearly all (sometimes shakily) taken with my iPhone 4.
