This is the first of three photos taken from the Peak by Lt-Cdr WR Fell in 1928 or 1929 as souvenirs of Hong Kong. They probably repeat many similar photos of the period, but I'm putting them on in case there is something out of the ordinary that critical eyes familiar with this landscape can pick out.

The photographer has walked a few paces forward up to the concrete post visible in his previous photo. Both photos are in the 1928-1929 album of Lt-Cdr W. Fell.

Here's another scene of neat local cultivation that caught the attention of Lt-Cdr William Fell and that he might have wanted to show his father as an example of land that, from the look of the hillside, would have taken hard work to clear. His own ancestors had undertaken similar clearing exercises in New Zealand. The large boulders seem to line sunken pathways, similar to sheep runs on Dartmoor, where he also rented a small cottage when on leave with his English wife and children. Perhaps someone has an idea of what their Hong Kong function was.
