Black Pool Tower In Front of Moutains
-------------------------------------

back to :ref:`examples`

In this example we try to model an image of Blackpool tower are a remarkably clear day. The day is so clear that you can easily see the moutains in the background which are significantly farther away.

This image is nice because it shows the large moutains so clearly. It is clear that at those distances the curvature of the earth should provide a significant amount of drop. Here we will use topography data to generate a model with standard atmosphere on a spherical and flat earth.
