Lamma Island in the distance. Am sure other contributors will be able to pinpoint the location of where the photographer was standing.

Hi There,

That vertical drop of the distance skyline is Mount Stenhouse on Lamma Island.  That means the Island in the foreground is Ap Lei Chau, before the reclamation and the Power Station.  Boats could be seen vaguely between the grass.

I believe the photographer was standing above Peel Rise somewhat on the Mount Kellet side.  Unable to verify the exact location though.  The Road (the two bends) is likely Peel Rise.
