I don't think this was taken at North Point or along the causeway, as wouldn't we be able to see East Point at the left of the photo?

Whereabouts would "East Praya in Causeway Bay" be on a modern map?

David - on second thoughts you may be right. I think I have the same photo. When I read about the 1906 typhoon to place the photo many years ago, I recall having read of two locations, one was at Observation Place and the other at Causeway Bay. I chose the latter but Observation Place would be a good candidate as it appears to tie in with the general location made by Herostratus.
