Again, this is Ma On Shan (the saddle shape in the background) seen from Tai Wai area/lower Shatin area - is that a road surface bottom left? If so this could have been taken from a car driving along Tai Po Road. The island on the right is Yuen Chau Kok.

Here's a photo of the area that Phil describes, with the same hills in the background:

Thank you Phil and David -

This is tremendous - I can see the exact hills, island and terrain.

Its great to find where it is.
