Recognize the leaning rails along the track? You may think that this photo was taken in Venice but actually it was taken at the Happy Valley Racecourse in Hong Kong. Rain poured down from the hills nearby together with sand and mud throughout each heavy rain or typhoon attack; it was quite an eyesoring scene of those worst floods around 1910s-1920s in records.
