Kowloon

I believe it is taken in Kowloon. Up on the hill, I think that is the Hong Kong Observatory main building.

Looking at this map, http://gwulo.com/node/6708, I'd guess the photographer was on Chatham Road, roughly half way between Observatory Road and Austin Road.

Dear hfsiu,

Thank you very much for this high-quality photo showing the Hong Kong Observatory in 1905 (HKO).  I am collecting old photos for the HKO.  Is this photo for sale?

Hi HF,

Mr Shun is the Director of the Observatory, as seen in some of the Blog entries.

Thanks & Best Regards,

Dear HF,

Yes I am collecting on behalf of the Hong Kong Observatory and I very much appreciate your very generous offer to provide us an electronic copy of this photo free of charge. My email address is cmshun@hko.gov.hk

At the same time, I am also collecting historical typhoon and weather disaster photos out of my personal interest and resource. My intention is to have good visual information of the past weather disasters so that I could write up some blogs or articles for public educational purposes. So if you or other friends here have something to offer, please contact me too.

Thanks again for your help!

Happy New Year!

CM Shun
