This photo is the second of a pair and shows the western arm of the bay in question - Stanley Bay? The bending woman is Cicely Warren who seems to be collecting something like shellfish into a bucket. Was that the attraction of this stony area? The standing woman was previously identified as Nurse Randal from the Peak Hospital. The photo was sent to my father who had recently left Hong Kong to take up tea planting in Ceylon. The legend on the back reads "Your sister-in-law - 'Sunnyside up' - That's me bending down."
