Everyone has seen twilight shots of Hong Kong harbour from the Peak: the millions of twinkling lights in that busy harbour never fail to fascinate. This image is a little different, combining as it does the harbour with a piece of colonial history in the foreground – the Barker Road Peak Tram stop, the final stop on the funicular tramway before reaching the Peak Tower. For those with a keen eye to Hong Kong’s ever-changing panorama, this image was taken in June 2002.

One of the most beautiful antelopes in East Africa, the gerenuk (Litocranius walleri), aka Waller’s gazelle, is incredibly shy. Its name derives from the Somali word for ‘long-necked’.
This male was in the Buffalo Springs Game Reserve in Samburu, Kenya and is probably more used to humans than many. He certainly remained inquisitive while keeping a cautious distance, before suddenly turning tail and heading into the bush – the moment captured here.
