So I'm just back from a jaunt through the woods adjacent to my home on this bright sunny fall day, and at 1:45 PM E.D.T. I notice something strange (perhaps waking up for the first time in my life?) The shadows of the trees on the southeastern part of the property (the house faces southwest if that matters) are being cast to the north and slightly to the east while the shadows of the trees about 60 feet away on the southwestern part of the property are still being cast north and slightly west. Isn't the sun far enough away that the 60 feet should make no real difference? I'm looking for a serious answer here, really, don't just tell me to go back to sleep.
