Kilimanjaro at a Great Distance

I'm not sure how well you can see it, but the mountain in the foreground on the left is Mt Meru, the second highest mountain in Tanzania, which we can see most of the time as it's just north of Arusha.  Behind it, you may be able to make out a shape in the distance--Mt. Kilimanjaro.  Kilimanjaro is more than 100 kilometers (just over 62 miles) away, a good three-hour drive, so it's almost never visible this far.  For that matter, as it's generally hazy around the mountain, it's rarely visible from a good deal closer.  But sometimes, when the sky is clear enough, and the light is just right from about five to six in the evening, from just the right places along the Arusha road, we can see it when leaving Monduli.  On Thanksgiving Day, the conditions lined up just right, the only time they have since I've been living here (but then again, I'm rarely going into town at that time in the evening).
