Based on the shadows, the sun is on the *right*... unless you posted the image upside-down to the way you were looking at it when you made the comment.

Here's an expanded view which shows a bit of the terminator in the lower right. A particuarly long shadow stretching to the right is marked by the arrow: So the sun would be to the left. -------------------- |

QUOTE (jmknapp @ Dec 1 2005, 02:22 PM) That last image certainly put the things into context, it's really hard to figure out what's high and what's low from small sections of that image you posted. In fact, if the geometry of the image is what I think it is, the sun is precisely on the left hand side, illumination being parallel to the image scanlines. -------------------- |
