Panorama from Torino Italy

This particular Panorama is of Torino Italy looking west from the middle of the city. John and I took the glass elevator to the top of the spire at the Mole Cinema Museum.

This is the Mole Spire where the photo was taken from

What Can I See?
Looking to the west you can just make out the outline of the Italian Alps that border France. The green area in front of you is the Royal park and Gardens with the Palace and fort to the just to the left of the park. Just to the left and slightly west you can see an ugly building with a flag on it, this is the tallest building in Torino until recently (1980′s). Also further left is the main train station “Porta Nuova” you can see the arched facade and just over the roof lines.
