Thanks John, too cool.

Clicking on your photo link takes you to their site. Clicking on that image gets a page with two enlarged images. Scrolling down to the second image shows enough detail to make out the shadow of the camera mast.

Posts like this are why I love your blog. I can't even remember how I came by it way back when, but it's managed to stay in the list the whole time. Posting this one to my "space" tag on del.icio.us, great stuff.
