Looking at the massive image you can just see the green roof of St Anthony's at Beeston to the left end of and in front of the housing. Which makes me think the pylon and structure in front of the housing and the housing is this. http://goo.gl/maps/vkOsvAlthough its still in the correct direction for Britannia Mill I am not as convinced as the tower lookks less rectangular than on the link I provided.It certainly isn't castle hill but it is South east Huddersfield for the far tower. Isn't there some tower on the hill behind the Galpharm or whatever its called these days?

Can anyone be bothered to explain to me, (I'm not too bright on such matters so please keep it simple!), why Emley Moor mast looks so near on Phills Large photo?

I've not had chance to have a good look at google earth/street view yet to try work out what places they are myself, but it's certainly a good photo to get the Grey matter working.I remember trying to find out what Wind farm it was, it's very deceiving.

Someone mentioned on Twitter today that it's taller than the Shard in London. I've got a load of literature about it from its opening somewhere - my Dad was invited to go up it in a bucket before it was complete.

It always continues to surprise me how 'near' Emley Moor tower looks when coming into Leeds down Scott Hall Road.

Is the wind farm the one you can see in the distance above Langsett Reservoir looking north? I've got a pic taken on Midhope Moor there where you can see Emley Moor mast behind the windfarm - quite a distance away if it is! Adjust the angle a bit and it could be that one...Full size pic here: http://flic.kr/p/ay3Wa9I do like these threads - remember the fun we had trying to identify those flats you can see from the M621 a while back?

simong...did your dad go up there then? Post some info if/when you find it as I for one would like to know something about it. From my friends house in Rawdon the mast can be seen easily but it doesn't look as near to Leeds as it does in Phills pic. Is it still used?raveydavey, thanks. I shall have to read it a few times for "some" of it to sink in. So much for the saying, "The camera never lies"

That's the one Ravey, It's Royd moor wind farm herehttp://goo.gl/maps/j4p73That's looking in the opposite direction back to Leeds. You need a street view super zoom to see where we are from there

Caron I can see the tower from the Ring Road at Redhall, but it doesn't look "near".I think that's 'cos I'm looking with my eyes which auto adjust and are bi-nocular.With a camera it is a single lens, and so "depth of field" on the picture image is not as in "real life". It is as though the lens picks up 'items' but not the spaces/distances between them.1. 100-mm lens at f/22 = gives not much depth of field/car at rear near dog at front2. 28-mm lens at f/22 = gives more depth of fieldAnother way is to consider how we know perspective.Camera doesn't, it sees in flat screen:- near object/mid distance/far are all "piled up" against each other. Hope that helps.Jogonps don't get me started, I could go on, and on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depth_of_field
