This is just a picture I took someplace. Where should be easy to guess. True geeks will also be able to identify each of the prominent man-made structures on the horizon, and determine which direction I was facing when I took the picture.
As always, you can click the picture for a larger version.

Keck and Subaru telescopes on Mauna Kea, Hawaii. Don't know the direction, but is the pic from the Saddle road?

And we have a winner.
