This is an interesting aerial photo before drones existed - of a part of Bukit Brown which landscape was very different back then. After all it was a cemetery after all once upon a time devoid of big trees. The covering date for this photo is 1958 and it was from the aerial photographs by the British Royal Air Force between 1940 to 1970s, from a collection held by the National Archives of Singapore.
I added to the photo, with some text to give everyone an idea what they are looking at:
MacRitchie Reservoir and the Old Lornie Road in the background
