thanks in advance. cl.

Here's a technique that I learned 60 years ago in Cub Scouts.
With your back to the tower, bend over and look at the tower between
your legs. Walk backwards toward the tower until you can't see the
top of the tower. The distance that you are from the tower is close to
the height of the tower.
