This is the staircase from my nightmares. There’s a door to the right as well.

Before the largest things on the horizon were trees and perhaps the odd church or water tower. These windmills tower over anything there is on the countryside.

The point I’m trying to make here is that our definition of tall has significantly shifted over the last 20/30 years. E.g. windmill 5km away is visually still twice as high as the church tower which is 500 meters away from you.

Oh yeah absolutely. The quickest way to get something done is to monkey patch another process instead.
