#OTD in 1215 the #MagnaCarta was sealed by King John of #England. That same month, 5,000 miles away, #GenghisKhan conquered #Beijing. These otherwise unconnected events represent turning points in the world’s two most influential power centers, whose reach once exceeded 20 million sq. miles. But they overlap only in the 427 sq. miles of Hong Kong, now the Magna Carta's final battle ground.

Happy Year of the Rabbit! 🐇

This photo is from January 2020, from my last big trip before the pandemic hit. The Po Lin Monastery on #Lantau Island in #HongKong was colorfully awaiting the new year, oblivious to what that year would bring. Now three years later so much is returning to what it was, and so much has changed.

What does the year of the wood rabbit hold in store for us?

In honor of the #ChineseNewYear, a photo I took during my last trip before the pandemic. A man brings flowers into the Wong Tai Sin Temple in #HongKong ahead of the Year of the Metal Rat.

One traditional greeting offers #恭喜發財 – that the new year bring prosperity. Another focuses on happiness: #新年快樂.

What greeting would you invent?

Three years ago today I landed in #HongKong. I wrote about what I discovered, including why I think Hong Kong's story is pivotal to the story of the modern world, here: "Searching For Hong Kong's Soul" https://photography.jm-hoffman.com/Searching-For-Hong-Kong-Soul.html
