"In this vertiginous view of Hong Kong, low clouds race above the Quarry Bay neighborhood, reflecting the city lights below. Most of the 18- to 20-story residential buildings in this shot were erected in 1972."

This Fossil wouldn't recognize todays Hong Kong (Or much of the rest of Asia--hell, even the hotel I stayed in in my R&R to Sydney in Mar '68--the old Carleton-Rex-- was torn down by the mid 80s and replaced). None of those bldgs even existed when I snagged a 2nd R&R to HK from DaNang in Aug, 1968, lol!
The Hong Kong one is interesting.

The same is true of a lot of places. Vegas has changed radically.
If I had to live in a Hong Kong hive I'd spiral into terminal depression.
On a first take the HK one looks like stacks of haphazardly placed cargo ship containers.
I read the asshole liberal David Letterman is now a Global Warming reporter for National Geographic. I hope he gets mauled by a polar bear.
