While waiting for his flight at Hong Kong's International Airport, this framed view of a cumulus cloud seemed like a cartoonist's "thought bubble" coming out of the dormant volcano, wherein Steven wondered what it was thinking. This view was captured from inside the Hong Kong International Airport, Chek Lap Kok, Hong Kong.

Thanks Lauren, got there in the end…….IanL…Photo Editor..
Dear Photo Editor (Ian?):
No apologies needed! I’m the one who had the “senior moment” when I failed to recognize my own photo! Boy, do I feel like a big goofball! LOL!!! Thank you so much for making the name clarification to the photo – I appreciate it! Have a blessed day! :)
Lauren
Whoops, sorry Lauren, senior moment…all sorted…. :+)
Hi Lauren
Your postings really made me smile! Never mind, we all make wee mistakes from time to time!
Best wishes.
Laurence
Oh my gosh, I need a nap…I just realized that this photo is actually mine! I took it back on July 7th while I was on my way to a local store in H-ville. I feel so silly! LOL!!!
Beautiful photo! It doesn’t say who took this photo, but whoever did, it’s great to see a CAS member who lives in my town in NC!
