Might it be a photo of an old picture post card?

For what it's worth, plug this number into Google Maps:

-43.606235,172.645487

... and go to street view, looking SE.

Here's something the more experienced photographers might be able
to help me with...

Among these old slides I've been scanning are a handful of colour
ones which are not part of the Australian stuff.  A few of these
colour ones (but not all) appear to have a kind of halftone
pattern.  See here for an example at 1200ppi.

As you can imagine it's fiendishly difficult to scan.  Once I have
a good scan (ie not blown out) it's quite easy to get rid of the
pattern in Photoshop.  Note I haven't done any colour corrections
other than increasing the brightness a bit.

I've had a look using a 10x loupe and it looks a bit like an LCD
screen but is hard to make out at such a low magnification.  I
might try a higher res scan later, and I'll find out whether the
microscope at my wife's work has a camera.

Could anyone fill me in on what the film might be?  The photo in
the pic was taken in 1951.  In case you're curious it's part of a
photo taken at the top of Dyers Pass after a snow storm.  I might
post the full pic in future.

Cheers, Dave
