There are *two* flat earth web forums, and I posted in both.

On the other one, someone has posted this great video which shows the effect much better than my photo...

What is the elevation of the camera?

The photo was taken hand-held at head height with a very powerful telescopic lens. There are other similar photos taken at the same time on flickr, using a standard lens, and which give a better idea of what the scene looked like to the naked eye.

Here is a photo I took recently at the seaside near Crosby in the UK.

Look carefully at the horizon where the sea meets the sky. The furthest wind turbines seem to be beyond the brow of a hill... except that there is no hill because it's the sea and the sea has to be "flat". Therefore, what you're seeing is the "hill" created by the curvature of the earth!

To my eye, what creates the impression of the turbines being over brow of a hill is the way that the bases of all of them meet the sea at the horizon and no lower.

You need to go to flickr to see the full resolution photo... this forum wouldn't let me attach the full resolution image.
