View from the peak on Wan Chai and Causeway Bay

Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1980

This one was shot quite likely from the same spot as the others in this series. Unfortunately, its a bit too bright.

Clear visible right hand side on the slope there is  a  brownish/reddish building, this is Altadena House (finished 1974) at 27, Barker Road. Behind that is Cragside Mansion at 23, Barker Road. In front of Altadena is a a two-storey building with a flag. Below is a detail from the 1980 picture, and below that one is a detail from a 2014 picture.  The house in front is a new one, these are Richmond Houses at 31, Barker Road.

Believe I took this one from a lookout east of the old peak tower. I wonder about the trees and bushes on both sides.
