Yes, the Strat tower is a great reference point I have noooo sense of direction, so it helps a LOT!

We used to be able to see a lot more of it from the room, now a lot of it is hidden behind one of the new construction projects...condos or time shares or something

I'm never sure if the camera doesn't do the valley view well because I'm taking a picture through a dusty window, because I'm a lousy photographer, or...??? Thanks for the tip on the infinity setting, I'll look for it!
