What is the background when you look at the towers?

I put up a pipe mast to 21ft.  Didnot paint the shinny pipe, do that in the 
spring (about 4 of them ago)  I found that the grey metaly showed up 
against the brown rocks on the mountains where the trees do not 
grow.  However, the rust colour is baely seen at all.  So maybe paint it 
with similar colours as the background what you see whem on the ground.
