Photographer's Note
The funny thing about this shot is that this road, in Sai Wan Ho, does not normally suffer from road congestion.
In fact, five minutes before I took this shot the road was practically deserted. So from the pedestrian bridge where I was standing, I then turned my attention to photographing a rusty air-conditioner. When I turned around, the road had all this traffic.
The basic tram in Hong Kong is an allover dark green, but most have some form of advertising. From the photo, you can see that the first tram has had a completely new paint job, while the others just have adverts on the side.

Interesting note on this "instant traffic jam", Andrew. And a very good, quite geometric image to illustrate the whole thing. It's fun to see all those trolleys and buses occupying the space here, it almost looks like a family reunion. Very well spotted.

Very Hong Kong, looks almost like the playfield for a little boy, with all these trams and buses in the crowded place. Well seen Andrew.

Great shot of a busy street.
Hong Kong is really a very dynamic and alive place.
You spotted the scene and have captured it very well.

Andrew,
A very informative view of this well known, and yet so little knowwn, city. A keen eye to spy the paint job.

Interesting busy shot Andrew. I like that all the traffic is composed only of buses. It's a fun shot to look at. It's hard to belive that he street was almost deserted minutes before your photo. It was a good idea to leave the traffic light at the bottom of the shot. It works really well in this kind of shot.
