Child's Play

Against the backdrop of a high-rise as colorful as the ball court, a child in Hong Kong lets off some steam after school, says Your Shot member Wing Ka H., who submitted this image. Colors are vibrant throughout the city: In addition to its candy-colored high-rises, Hong Kong’s taxis are color-coded by service region, and the city’s Pearl River Delta is home to the uniquely hued Chinese white dolphin.
