Dawn and sunrise this morning, Mar 15th, from Buck Hill!
My first sunrise on the hill in nearly two months. The deep snow kept me from both my usual parking spot and from hiking. I did make a couple of snow treks up the hill, but I did not have the proper gear for the conditions. If one looks closely at the first photo one can see a waning crescent moon.

Cape Cod Space Force Station (42 mi), Bourne MA photographed from Buck Hill.
Yes, you can see to Cape Cod from Buck Hill, but just barely. I took this photo almost two years ago and have been trying ever since to get a better image of this site, but without success. I decided to try to do some enhancement to this image, and I felt the result was reasonably good.
This station is located on Flatrock Hill in Bourne MA. This image shows four wind turbines located at the station. The two turbines on the left are almost right on top of each other, so their turbine blades appear to overlap a bit. Just to the left of these, I believe is the outline of the Early Warning Radar facility, which is a huge building. There is no 3D Google Earth imagery of this, but based on the shadows of the 2D image, this building is of similar height to the wind turbine towers.
The cell or communication tower (23.88 mi) located between the two wind turbines on the right is on Joe Freitas Way, Plympton MA

Harbor Towers (9.98 mi), East India Row, Boston MA photographed from Buck Hill.
To the right is Mt Hood in Melrose MA. On top of it is Slayton Tower (16.5 mi), also sometimes referred to as Mt Hood Tower, 100 Slayton Rd which is dwarfed by a large cell tower (16.69 mi) behind it. Both towers are on the property of the Mt Hood golf course. I have been told that Slayton Tower can be visited and climbed during normal hours of operation for the golf course, though I have not visited yet.
To the left of the left Harbor Tower, the last few steel truss sections of the Maurice J Tobin Memorial Bridge (11.94 mi), Chelsea MA can be seen. The bridge connects US Route 1 between Boston and Chelsea. The portion that can be seen from Buck Hill are the last truss sections on the Chelsea side.
