   Summary Author:  Matthew Chin
   Even though Hong Kong isn’t graced with many green spaces, in a few
   locations, such as  Sha Lo Tung, we can see vast numbers of
    fireflies in late spring and throughout summer. Unfortunately,
   their environment is being increasingly destroyed because of various
   human activities. As shown above, the  bioluminescent trails left by
   the little fireflies and the star trails of the  summer
   constellations have been combined onto one image. Photo taken on August
   29, 2017.

   Photo details: Nikon D750 camera; 18 mm lens.
