"calvin"

Beautiful or ugly? I don't know.
But I felt so sure that I had to take a few shots of this extremely shortlived five-star hotel (Ritz Carlton) on one of its last days.
Being located in the CBD which is at the moment experiencing a serious shortage of office space supply,
it has to yield to the rule of the invisible hand - it's being pulled down to make way for a new office development.
And, while the internal demolition works are being carried out,
the developer has even thought of using its facades for advertising...
I might be too much city guy to notice such petty things.:-)

Ritz Carlton, Chater Road, Hong Kong
