There was a pier off the seawall at the junction with Tin Lok Lane, so that's likely where the photographer stood to get this view looking along the beach:

As mentioned here , Observation Place had a stone pier. The pier became a public wharf in 1907. Became disused in 1924 with the construction of the Praya East Reclamation.
