Macau 2009 Mount Fortress

The Macau Museum [history and culture] is actually inside the cities largest fortification, Mount Fortress. [This is a google maps satellite shot. You can see the fortress walls in the upper left quadrant.] It was a pretty neat museum, I wish we would have had more time. I'd definitely go back again.

Looking out from the fortifications at the top at the Grand Lisboa Casino.



Have a coke and a shrine.


City view from the top.

Flame of the Forest. A beautiful blooming tree I saw several times in Macau. Must have an edible fruit because it was also teeming with little birds that I never managed to capture [wait until next year and the new camera, aha!]. I think I've also seen these in Florida.
