Can you see Bok Tower from the road?

 

Bok Tower is a carillon in a garden that doubles as a bird sanctuary in Polk County, Florida, south of Orlando.  It was a tourist attraction in Florida long before Disney and even before car air-conditioning, which made summers in Florida semi-survivable.

Bok Tower up close:












In one of my speculative moods, I wondered if Bok Tower is visible from the road, aka StreetView.  Turns out it is, but you have to look close.   I figured it would be, because it is high above the flatness of south-central Florida.  Stay centered and zoom in. 




Count that as another itch scratched.
