Hi Bryan, this is a view of Kai Kung Leng - the hill north of Kam Tin. Judging from the angle I think you were probably around near to Ho Hok Shan/Au Tau area when you took it.

Cheers, Phil

Hi Phil,very pleased to have this view now identified and have now found the area on a map-thank you.I would visit the village of Kam Tin via “ bicycle taxi” from the camp gate at Sek Kong,and had a suit made to measure in the village by -Shanghai Union-Tailor-Kan Tin-N. T. Kowloon.which I wore when getting married in 1959-still have this suit name tag.It gives me great pleasure and refreshes long forgotten memories to have these photos identified. Bryan.

Glad to help, Bryan. Many thanks to you for sharing and giving people like me the chance to see these places during that time. Phil
