Photographic Interpretation

[Gadrin]

I'm thinking of using this in a scenario and am trying to gauge the height of it...

I believe those are farmhouses around the edge of the picture.

Anyone good at this sort of thing?

2000+ feet ?

1815 feet and 5 inches, height of the CN Tower in Toronto, Canada. Tallest free standing structure in the world might be a good starting point.

Rough estimate assuming roadways are 20 feet wide (enough for a small 2 lane road) is 980 feet. If the road ways shown in the picture are larger, then the tower would be taller. Architectural clues seem to argue against anything less than the 980 feet - but I think you could easyly argue for the 2000 foot figure or more (just have the roadways fairly wide.)

I thought I posted this earlier

That is an Image of the Millennium Gate from a Voyager episode called 11:59. It is supposed to be 1 Kilometer tall, or about 3280 feet.

hope that helps.

ah! wunderbarr!

I'm not really much of a Trekkie, though I have the Voyager DVDs. The episode had such a crappy rating, I never watched it (zero on a scale of 1 to 10 over on Bernd Schneider's site). I came across the screen cap a few months back and liked the structure.

I keep forgetting about Wiki/Memory Alpha.
