Mr Fox, Victorian Christmas Market - Kelham Island Museum, Sheffield

Mr Fox comes to town at the Victorian Christmas Market - Kelham Island, with mystical masked performers, drummers and acoustic music.
Based in Barnsley, Mr. Fox is an exciting development in British traditional dance with the use of fire and small pyros developed over the last 23 years. The dance forms and style derive mostly from English and Welsh traditions but draw in ideas from North America and Catalonia.

Hong Kong Park, Hong Kong 香港, China 2017

An oasis of green in an urban setting, Hong Kong Park is outstanding in the way its design blends in with the surrounding natural landscape. The park features an aviary, a greenhouse, the Flagstaff House Museum of Tea Ware, the Hong Kong Visual Arts Centre, fountains, lily ponds, playgrounds, a restaurant and even a marriage registry. The aviary features more than 80 species of birds in a well-designed tropical ‘rainforest’. Also noteworthy is the way flowing water has been employed as a thematic motif to link the different features of the park by waterfalls, streams, ponds and cliffs made from artificial rocks. The park is also a great vantage point to take some snaps of the surrounding skyscrapers.
