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.

Places shown in this photo: 

I believe I took this photo when walking up to Victoria Peak. Should be Mount Austin Road, this is similar to the one from 1966. Exact location might be on that part of the road that goes straight in south-westerly direction, somewhere above Mount Austin Road Playground.

Furama_Panorama (1980)

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

This is a panorama created from two photos (scald ID's 20899 and 20900) using Photoshop. In 1980, I was only interested in the Peak, so unfortunately the lower part of the Supreme Court Building is missing, and also right hand side of Chater Garden. I tried to find other images that would fit in there, but I was not successful.
