View From Braemar Hill - a photo on Flickriver

So today actually was the first time I took the camera outdoors and climbed up Braemar Hill. (can see it on my facebook page: www.facebook.com/ThomasBirkeUrbanPhotography )
On Braemar Hill there are 2 really good viewpoints - one is a couple of rocks down from the trigonometric station and the other one, which I chose today, is a kilometer away from the actual Braemar Hill top along the Trail (I think it is the Wilson Trail). Both have their advantages, and I can not decide which one is best - the first has part of the Happy Valley Flyover in view, which is a great addition to the futuristic feeling of the cityscape - the second, which I choose today, has these amazing round appartment blocks in the foreground ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lai_Tak_Tsuen ) and the view of Central Plaza is not blocked...
Anyway, the whole week already there is so much pollution in the air and it is quite cloudy, so the light pollution of central is so strong that it is hard to balance out, plus there is not much sharpness because all the particles in the air blur the details...I hope that it will get better with next week!
