Mystery photo Hong Kong 1954

Hi David,

I have a number of unidentified photos in my husband's album,  this is one of them.  Do you have any idea where it is.  All of his photos are from 1954 and all are somewhere in HK.

Regards,  Pauline.

Because of the Domes (on the corners maybe) and the the triangular features on the facade, I think Prince's Building or Queen's Building in Central.

Of course I have been wrong every time I've made a guess on here ;-)

Alun

Alun's location is spot on. The photographer would most likely be standing in the Chartered Bank Building looking north across Des Voeux Road Central towards Prince's Building with Queen's Building and its tower in the distance.

Thanks Alun and Moddsey.  This is a strange coincidence as these buildings are the same ones as those in David's photo of the lady in the sedan chair and I had no idea!
