Description
Annotation translation: "The Seminary seen from further away at low tide. The house behind the Seminary should become a cottage hospital. The house on the left is a Government Primary School. On its left the market temple has been built on to it. The street to Kowloon leads upwards to the right from the school, but turns left almost immediately, and leads after a long ride down to the airport. The high mountain is the so-called Kowloon Peak. Our bus stops by the school. And you can see cars standing there. Behind the Seminary is a Catholic graveyard, no longer in active use. The roof standing out from the right-hand wall of the Seminary provides shelter for the choir and the central part of the chapel. The end one-third of the chapel is covered in this photograph by the open terrace." Annotation: "Das Seminar von weiter weg gesehen bei Ebbe. Das Haus hinter dem Seminar soll ein kleines Spital sein. Das Haus links ist die Regierungsprimarschule, daran angebaut wäre nach links der Markttempel. Die Strasse nach Kowloon führt von der Schule nach rechts aufwärts, biegt aber gleich nach links um und führt nach langer Fahrt zum Flugplatz hinunter. Der hohe Berg ist der sogenannte Kowloon Peak. Unser Bus hält bei der Schule, man sieht dort Wagen stehen. Hinter dem Seminar ist ein alter, jetzt nicht mehr benützter katholischer Friedhof. Das Dach anschliessend an die rechte Seitenfront des Hauptgebäudes vom Seminar bedeckt Chor und Mittelraum der Kapelle während das letzte Drittel der Kapelle von der offenen Terrasse bedeckt ist."
