Bowrington Canal c.1910.

From looking at David's 1957 Map of Hong Kong's northshore, I think this photo was taken from the canal crossing at Russell Street where the canal's alignment lines up with Lion Rock.  It is rare to find a Hong Kong street photo that shows this hill.  Notice the air quality and clarity of the photo.
