Tack, any idea what this relatively small dome in the foreground would be? It looks like a mini misplaced astronomy tower, and in a wrong place. The sky looks like the elevation of the airfield would be high though. Over or under 2000 ft?

I don't think it is Horta or Corvo, but the island next to Corvo - Santa Cruz das Fiores (FLV)

RegDep, no doubt about it, it's Flores, the town of Santa Cruz on the right. Runway 36, notoriously turbulent approach, the land on the left rises steeply to 3000'

Corvo lies a few miles to the north, it and Flores are so far west that they lie on the North American continental plate.
