香港植物园的一角
考察团一行沿着香港岛的盘山公路往上走,这是罗林在途中拍摄的别墅群,山坡上已经大楼林立,颇具现代感。
再往上走,照片中左侧的建筑是香港大教堂,下方的维多利亚港。
香港大教堂的后山道路处,从松林间可看到教堂的塔楼。

罗林在另一处平台俯拍下方的港岛,照片正中间的建筑正是香港大教堂。
一处高坡,从茂密的树林中,往下方所拍,可看见一艘轮船在港湾里航行。
这里的山势海拔已经较高,下方香港的海岸建筑如同火柴盒一般。
罗林从树丫中间拍摄下方的维多利亚港。
罗林在一处上坡的车道旁,俯拍香港的全貌,海港里船舶交通繁忙。
罗林在一处私人别墅,发现一块巨石镶嵌在山体里,甚为奇特。
罗林一行登上太平山顶,前方山头上修建有一座观景亭。
罗林在太平山顶往另一个方向拍摄。
香港九龙的一处山坡下,菜地中一位农夫挑着桶,准备前去给菜浇灌。
九龙附近的山上,罗林发现了很多花岗岩巨石,作为地质学的研究生,他认为这些散落的巨石原本是更大的石体,由于滚落,导致破碎,并在岁月风化变成照片中的模样。
九龙的背山处,很多块剥落的花岗岩巨石
近处拍摄的花岗岩巨石
罗林在九龙的山上,看到一群在香港的印度裔警察在山上进行体能训练。
九龙的背山处,罗林让考察团的成员站在巨石旁,拍摄了这张对比照片,大石的高度几乎与一个成人相似,非常巨大。
香港林士街附近,路旁有几棵榕树,树根几乎盘踞了护坡,路上的行人以洋人居多。
罗林看到这盘根错节的榕树根,感觉有些好奇。
香港林士街一景。
香港林士街附近,左边一人应该是印度警察,右边有三人是中国人,分别是一位女佣人、环卫工、车夫。
1909年,香港花市的街景,街道两侧都是西式建筑
香港的一处街头,中间的一位挑夫挑着筐,头上乌黑的长辫子盘了起来,他左前方的一位中国男子,辫子拖在了背后,长达腰间,中间的商店挂有“南兴隆”的中英文标牌。
香港的一处街巷,明显有着坡度,应是依山而建,行人几乎都是走路,偶尔是挑着担子的人,很少见到到别的交通工具。
2月15日,考察团一行搭乘轮船,从香港的码头出发,沿着西江一路溯流而上,于次日到达三水。
