Long distance observations
Long-distance observations are specific types of landscape photography covering the earth's surface objects (mountains, protrusions, rocks, etc) as well as man-made objects firmly linked to the earth's surface (buildings, towers, transmitters, skyscrapers, etc).
The longest line of sight in the British Isles is from Snowdon to Merrick - 232 km. It has been photographed by Kris Williams in 2015.[1]
The longest theoretical line of sight possible from the USA territory is between Mc Kinley and Mount Sanford at the 330 km distance.[2]
