Where the sun doesn't shine even in the morning: a follow-up

Continuing the theme of unnecessary follow-ups to previous posts...

If you read this one from February featuring some unexpected shadows, you may not have believed that the area in question really got little or no direct sunlight during the day.

Okay. There's no way you read it that closely, and if you did, you probably didn't concern yourself with that assertion.

Nonetheless, to the left is a shot of the portion of 4th St., between Flower St. and Figueroa Ave., along the north side of the Bonaventure Hotel in downtown L.A. (from 48 stories up), about 10 a.m.

You can see the row of trees lining the sidewalk, and if you look closely (feel free to click on the picture to enlarge it), you'll notice that the way the lower portion of the hotel's design juts out it casts that stretch in shadow even when the sun is otherwise hitting the street next to it.

Whether that gives you a greater appreciation for how unusual are the shadows of the trees from the afternoon sunlight reflected off of other skyscrapers is another story, but with any luck it has given a bit more perspective on that prior post.

Why I'm bothering is a mystery that no amount of photos or follow-ups could ever possibly explain.
