Last week, during a visit to the Peak, I took the liberty of going to the top section where the old Governor's mansion used to be. The mansion, called "Mountain Lodge" has long gone, the second and last version of it was demolished after the Second World War, but the podium it sat on and its nearby lower level garden are still around. The terrace/podium now has a rather nice, large concrete pavilion built on top of it.
Anyway, all around this area is a small circular trail known as "The Governor's Walk" and it was seen in a post I did for
Yellow Emmanuelle (1977) a couple of years ago. I've recreated some of the filming angles below to illustrate just how much tree growth has occurred. It's nice to have trees, but it's also nice to have views, so I'm in two minds about which version I prefer. What do you think - trees or views?
The view looking towards Mt Kellet (now obscured) 
Looking towards Lamma (again, now obscured)The same railing remains today 
Looking towards the viewing point.

I'm erring on that side as well. haha. I love my trees but the whole point of being up here is to see stuff.
