philroeder is currently publishing some wonderful photos from Hong Kong and Macau that his father took in the 1950s. He says:

"These photos were taken while my Dad served as a Lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force during the Korean War. They were taken with a Zeiss Ikon Contessa, a rangefinder with a folding Tessar f2.8/45mm lens, and were shot on 35mm Kodachrome transparency film."

You can visit his complete set Dad’s Photos to see the ones already uploaded and to follow along.

There are also some wonderful impressions in the Hong Kong Nostalgia group, and if you are still longing for more, try an advanced search to find Hong Kong and Macau photos taken before 1970.

Grand Mosque - a.k.a. Sheikh Zayed Mosque

Yesterday was the first day of Ramadan!

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. It is the Islamic month of fasting, in which participating Muslims refrain from eating, drinking and sexual activities from dawn until sunset. Fasting is intended to teach Muslims about patience, humility, and spirituality. It is a time for Muslims to fast for the sake of Allah and to offer more prayer than usual. During Ramadan, Muslims ask forgiveness for past sins, pray for guidance and help in refraining from everyday evils, and try to purify themselves through self-restraint and good deeds.

Head over to our Ramadan clusters to explore more impressive photos!
