2254 - Hong Kong

Another expat, only Ian is from rural England and has been in Hong Kong for a quarter of his life. He's a hiker and photographer (here's his website of photos - https://hknature.weebly.com/).  

Hong Kong is another densely populated urban centre of 7.5 million people. Skyscraper dominate the landscape of Hong Kong, as well as Victoria Harbour which is bustling with commercial shipping, cruise boats, water taxis, ferries, fishing vessels, and whatever else you can put in the water. 

Ian's also used a huge, beautiful stamp that depicts the Storm Riders. I am assuming storm riders are some sort of deity, but can't seem to find anything after a short search.

3566 - Bakhmach, Chernihiv, Ukraine

Bakhmach is locarted in northern Ukraine. I'm taking this next paragraph straight out of Wikipedia: During the  Russian invasion of Ukraine  on February 26, 2022, at least 65 units of Russian military equipment moved through Bakhmach, with about a hundred more on the outskirts. Local residents tried to stop the convoy on their own by blocking tank tracks with makeshift objects and convincing Russian soldiers not to move towards  Kyiv . One man attempted to climb onto a tank and block the road with his body (he was not hurt). However, the military equipment continued to move, and Russian forces fired several shots into the air. Слава Україні!
