... this is what the Gimp told me yesterday morning while editing some more images from Hong Kong. Indeed, my hard drive got quite full in the past years... Another point is that, by starting this blog, I forced myself to keep unflattened, full resolution XCF files of the images I would post here. Since the latter often contain 10+ layers, the files quickly can be 200MB or more. Well, this was a good reason for getting myself one of those external 1TB USB hard drives (*).

Anyway: After the short intermezzo from Karlsruhe last time, I'll be posting some more images from Hong Kong and Kowloon in the next days. Today's image is another night shot, and it shows a typical crossing on Kowloon's Nathan Road...

(*) Technical stuff: I didn't encounter any problems getting the external hard drive to work under Linux, although the decision of a filesystem wasn't straight forward. The pre-installed ntfs didn't last for more than five minutes, and, despite losing windows compatibility, was replaced by EXT3. Since the latter however turned out to require about 70GB (!) of disc space for organizing its data, I ended up at using ReiserFS again...
