I think that this must have been shortly before the bus turned to the south and grew level with the Happy Valley race course.  Stonecutters Island is just visible in the distance.  Following identification by Moddsey and E David of another view taken on the same bus ride, I am renaming this photogaph Stubbs Road view looking North.  No.

However, in order to show how accurate and helpful other readers can be, I have left this first paragraph in its incorrect form.  The bus was heading south along the Wong Nai Chung Gap road well south of the Happy Valley Race course, and the Tai Hang road is visible at the bottom left corner, with the Green Lane Service reservoir clearly identifiable in the centre of the photograph.

Hi Andrew. It gets a bit of confusing when Stubbs Road meets up with Wong Nai Chung Gap Road. Actually you are on the latter road probably going to areas south of Hong Kong Island. Today's road view here Cheers

Thank you Moddsey.  You are absolutely correct. Checked against Google Earth and, using the Green Lane Service reservoir as a marker, the bus was definitely on the Wong Nai Chung Gap road with the Tai Hang road visible below it.  We were definitely well South of the Happy Valley Racecourse.  I'll edit the title, etc..  Perhaps I need to re-check the other photograph taken in that vicinity.
