tower by Tim Zukas from the GigaPan Panoramic from Torrance California 4.6GPX by lpaul
The tower at center (33.8686N 118.24805W) is azimuth 50.4 deg, beyond the library at 33.8633N 118.2561. So what's that distant light bldg on the hill about azi 49.8-49.9 deg? For lack of a better theory, the one at 34.0087N 118.04985W.
