      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.
