I do the same thing. Watch for the shadow to cross the tree line and then I'm good.

We have power wires and a pole at the North end of our runway. There is no easy way to tell which side of the lines you are on. We have learned to watch for the shadow of the plane on the ground below the power lines. After 10 years of flying at this site it is second nature to us, but visitors do get spooked at times.
