Hi Rob and all!

Best I can tell from the videos, without mapping anything, is that the
sun is actually very high in the sky which is creating down shadows on
object protruding from the buildings.
This is easy to see. And if we had some measurements of those objects
could estimated very closely what time it was. Darn, where are the sky
cameras when we need them!!
