When the sun is low, shadows are long, when it rises, shadows get shorter because the angle the light is coming from is steeper. That tall building would of started out throwing a big long shadow, and then over 16 minutes the sun rising would of shrunk it and it would of moved.

Hence, in the first strike pic the shadow is deeper, darker and wider than the second.

The third picture shows an almost identical shadow to the first - so whats the problem there? none. why? because although its later, it is also 3 days down the year - hence the sun rose later and this would of compensated for it a small bit.

Egg,

Think in terms of position. Don't confuse yourself with "16 minutes," "3 days," etc. If I have a flashlight to cast shadows, as long as the objects (including the flashlight) are not moved, you'd expect the same result. Correct? It doesn't matter what time or day of the year I perform this experiment; it won't alter the result.

If you have two photos that show shadows in virtually the exact location on a building, but one photo shows a 20 foot wide shadow on the adjacent building but in the other photo the 20 foot wide shadow is entirely missing, you would have questions, would you?
