This picture really sucks, since it was taken free hand with my iPhone, but
it sort of give you an idea of the shot to the radio towers.  This is taken
from my front yard, the red 'dots' are the lights on the towers to keep
planes from flying into them.

It is suppose to be clear tomorrow, so I'll try to grab a better picture in
the morning.
