Our Hotel From 10 Miles Away

On the way home, I was surprised to notice our hotel so visible in the distance (the white building in the lower mountain, above the rightmost orange backhoe), and even more so when the car navigation system said that it was more than 10 miles away. It looks much closer, but is 10.6 miles (17km) away.
