1966 tom briggs

Happy Valley

Hong Kong

... this is my feeble attempt in 1966 to hand hold a night shot of the Kowloon skyline using Echtachrome film. As you can see, however, and although the skyline pales by today's skyline, it was nevertheless even beautiful more than 40 years ago ...

Thanks to Al (see comments below) we've been able to exactly identify this scene. The dark area in the foreground is the old race course split by the lights of Sports Road

I think you are wrong here, Tom. This is of Happy Valley and accross to Wan Chai and out to the Harbour. The dark area in the foreground is the old race course split by the lights of Sports Road. It is very nice to think about all those years ago. The reason I am so sure, is this photo was taken from Leighton Hill Flats were I lived from '62 -'65.
