How bananas grow. And other photography from Hong Kong.

I'm already trying to prepare for the coming extinction of the banana, myself.

(I think this news link will work better (111 might not like the link to the BBC), although there's better news more recently, i.e.: Chiquita may be in trouble, but there are a lot more kinds of non-threatened bananas out there...)

Wonderful site, thank you Yoga! The banana stuff was spectacular, and I loved the praying mantis gallery too.

Wow wow wow does that man has an eye for a composition, from flowers to cityscapes to people. And a generosity in putting them up 1024x768 - maybe that's whay it's called 'Kleptography'? - although maybe it's something to do with snatching images as they pass ... okay I'm going back there ... Double thanks, yoga.

I always wondered why bananas had those black ends.

Absolutely gorgeous photographs. This is my favorite - so suggestive and sensual. Thanks, yoga.
