This is a screen shot from one of my cinefilms. Can anyone identify the area/coastline. This cinefilm was taken between 1949 and 1950

Date picture taken (may be approximate): 
Wednesday, June 1, 1949

It's possible this is Tai Po Kau looking north towards Cloudy Hill in the distance, but the ridgeline is not quite defined enough for me to be certain. However, the lowlanmd in the foreground and the presence of what appears to be a pier in the middle distance does correspond with the area in front of Kerry Lake today and obviously the previous position of the ferry pier in front of Tai Po Kau train station.
