in the morning haze
looming high above the trees
three mighty giants
These are just three of the antenna in Roxborough’s “tower farm,” which transmit power to television and radio stations for Philadelphia and surrounding areas. In all there are 15 giant towers, with the tallest reaching 1,280 feet up into the sky. That’s nearly a quarter of a mile high—which might take the average middle-age walker 5 minutes, more or less, to walk all the way to the top….imagine that!😉
