About 190 years ago a very famous person announced that on this day, he would with the help of his newly invented flying machine, fly from one tower in the town to another, a distance of about three hundred feet. The announcement generated great expectations and an immense crowd thronged to witness the feat, but to the dismay of the crowd the flyer did not appear. Later in the day he announced that he could not keep his engagement because unfortunately one of wings of his flying machine got wet.

Please post GE/GM views of the two towers and please avoid posting GSV of 1st tower (or post a part of its GSV) as full GSV is reverse searchable.
