The view is to the southwest, from over Ikoyi. Victoria Island extends into the image from the left (the east mole extending into the ocean from its far side). Lagos Island (split by MacGregor Canal) runs diagonally across the lower part of the image, and is connected to Victoria Island by Five Cowrie Bridge. (The soccer ground and King George V Park are the rectangular areas near the right end of the bridge.) Lighthouse Creek, Badagry Creek and Porto Novo Creek wind through the land in the upper part of the image
