Hello everyone,

This photo reveals some interesting information for myself. The CLCY village.

Near the bottom left. It has a rowhouse  partly contained by a wall boundary, few trees nearby: the Bayan was the biggest one. Actually there is an unseen rowhouse, one that my family once lived in, right behind the first one.

The gauva plantation,which is visually hidden by the roll-off of the landscape, was in front of the part of the wall facing the reader.

The whale bone of the CLCY village was resting at the irrigation pond by the far end of the wall boundary. Not all the Houses on the CLCY village were in the picture for probably not yet being built at that time.

And looks like the mysterious fruit tree was also in the photo too. One can see the huge trunk and its healthy high reaching crown of foliage.

Many gigantic rocks apppeared are so the same as we saw in the old days.

The airspace over the right border of the picture is the airway for the low flying passing aeroplane even before the CC NDB era.

Oh, so nice to see the early days of my village.

And the Bay was full of mariner population!! From here many launch their month-long fishing expedition in group to the South China Sea, a historical fishing ground for them.

Based on the trees and the absence of houses I remember, this picture seems to be likely of 1920s or even earlier....

So rare & nice!!

Thanks Heaven>
