Loc: Boise, Idaho 		Poehere - thanks for the coordinates. I tried them and I still can't see it. It was so big - it seems like it should show up better than any of the buildings. The shadows of the buildings show up, but I don't see a shadow for the tower. It just looks like a big blank spot where it once stood. Maybe my computer doesn't give me enough detail. Weird!

I can see the light pole/shadow device fine.

Sorry, don't mean to obsess, just curious.

Loc: Las Vegas, NV 		Marsha~what I saw for the old fire tower is a concrete or (rock?) base. It doesn't look like it has any height to it. Just the base of what was there....more or less a square shape thing.

Loc: FP 		The reason you don't see much is that it was built of 10 blocks from big to small at the top (don't know how you call that in english) so looking down at it just gives this white square shape. Being part of Tahitian Heritage they are not allowed to tear it down, it will have to go by itself so to speak, maybe with time or a cyclone LOL

Loc: Boise, Idaho 		Poehere - in English it's called a pyramid. The fire tower seemed very tall from the base of it, but I know what you're saying - so thanks for your help.
