Ruins and Trees: Devil's Peak Battery 廢堡與樹:魔鬼山炮台

Ruins and Trees

The Devil's Peak Battery was built in 1902 by the Hong Kong British Government to guard the eastern entrance to Victoria Harbour.   Today, the battery has fallen into disrepair and parts of the structure were modified.  In the sketch, trees are growing within the structure with branches reaching up to the top of the fortified walls, creating a rather eerie mood.  

魔鬼山炮台建築於1902年,守護維多利亞港東面入口鯉魚門。時至今日,炮台已成廢墟。畫中樹木從炮台走廊內生長,樹枝向天擴散,廢堡與樹,氣氛淒清。
