Dean,
I understand how you might think that way
but lets think about this for a second. Have you
ever been riding along in a car and watching the
way the shadows formed by your car are cast on
the ground or objects to the side of the car? This
is particularly the case if you are travelling at right
angles to a light source. I seem to recall this action.
If memory serves, the same exact light source will
take on different angles if the surface where the
shadow is cast is undulating in its topography. It
seems as if I remember the shadow shifting up and
down depending on the terrain it falls on and this also
tends to change the angle at which the shadow falls
somewhat. The degree is something that I cannot
comment on. I think that since many shapes that a
terrain takes have a rounded form the action of light
upon them is similar to light acting upon a conic
section or sphere. So, lets not be hasty in coming
to a final conclusion as long as there are questions
to be covered yet.

Jeff,
I just don't feel comfortable with your interpretation below. On a
hill or
not on one, the shadows should fall to the same side.Dharma/Dean
