Hi Andrew.  I am guessing that Gordon took this photo either before or after he took "New Territories 4" while standing on the same high spot, except that this one aimed to the east where he walked from.  The low dark hill on the left of the photo would then be Fung Ka Wai on the 1952 map, the contours seem to agree; the brightness on the clouds tend to also support this though not as convincing.  Regards,  Peter

Thank you Peter. I think that the location of these five or six photographs is now fairly certain and I have added pins to them.  Regards Andrew
