Strabane transmitting station is seen silhouetted in the foreground against the rising sun of 3rd January 2020 (around 08:58 am local time).
Wikipedia says "The Strabane transmitting station is a broadcasting and telecommunications facility located at Legfordrum and situated very close to the town of Strabane, in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. It includes a 305.5 meters (1,002 ft) high guyed steel lattice mast, which is the tallest structure in Ireland. The transmission antennas surmounting the structure are contained within a fibreglass cylinder. Constructed in 1963, it came into service on 18 February of that year."

According to Google map's distance measuring tool, the air distance to the transmitting station is 28.81 kilometer from the window of my house (Thornberry estate, Letterkenny) from where I clicked this image (refer the below image).
