Sorta looks like a Lāhainā Noon.
Ha I thought of this picture too
shadow of the erdtree
That Volkswagen has air only in the top part of the tire.
Like most flat tires
But its mostly round
Looks like a flat to me, as a fine connoisseur of pieces of shit that sit out side of the drive with a flat for months on end.
Also lighting looks consistent.
Yeah it is flat, I was being silly.
And yeah, looks like its been sitting there for a long while. Also looks like the bonnet is open a bit, probably has some Volkswagen feature going on and as a result is now dead.
Oh don’t let me stop you from being silly. I think these days it’s more important than ever. Also, my hackles are perpetually raised for slop. And it makes enjoyment of cool things harder than ever.
Oh don’t worry, I enjoy being silly and if people think I’m being weird for it, I enjoy it even more.
Not a healthy tree, judging by the shadow
I think that’s beyond minoxidil.
I bet it lost its top half.
Theres a straight line shadow that might be a power line directly overhead.
That’s a grout.
I think they meant the shadow line running parallel with the sidewalk, a few inches from the curb
Thanks for pointing that out. I was staring at this image for a long time looking for that shadow.
Lahaina Noon
Where is this? Is Figo common in the US or Europe? This looks US based on the sidewalk and power lines, but not sure you see figo there.
Maybe Mexico?
Somewhere nearly on the equator. I was thinking Mexico too since the US never got a Figo, and I very much doubt anyone would import a 25 year old one.
Gotta be close to the equatorial with a shadow like that
Another reply suggested Mexico. That or elsewhere in Central America makes sense.
But for the shadow, wouldn’t that depend on the season? Couldn’t you get that at a wide range of latitudes?
Well, it’s this range: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subsolar_point
As others have already said, no, direct overhead sun actually doesn’t happen in a sizable chunk of the world. But I’ll add some personal experience:
I’ve lived at northern latitudes my whole life and two things are always weird when I visit equatorial regions: 1) experiencing true “noon” or true overhead sun 2) the incredibly short sunsets. I also always end up getting fucking roasted by sunburn on vacation, not understanding the power of tropical overhead sun’s radiation intensity. Even if I know it intellectually, I never remember it well enough to avoid getting burned because I can be outside at home in the sun for a lot longer.
If you look on a globe, in addition to the equator, you’ll see two other lines labeled tropics. These lines represent where on earth, as the planet shifts on its axis through the seasons, the sun is directly overhead at each solstice. Everything north or south of the tropics has noons at less than 90⁰ year round.
Anywhere in the tropics. Nowhere north or south of the tropics.
Finally, the promised tree from all the architectural drawings
It’s fine, it’s just got a tonsure.
An upvote for answering the first question that comes to mind and a comment for tonsure (appropriate username too)
Dunno why my first thought was the Psygnosis logo LOL.
Hello fellow old
The title of this post is like the FromSoft game we have at home.
Fake. Look at the shadow of the wall on the top part of the picture. If this was real, the shadow wouldn’t be angled down, as the main one would suggest the sun is directly above.
*rolls eyes*
The car shadows are straight down, too.
The shadow you’re referring too could be foliage hanging out over the top of the wall, or trees behind the wall, but hanging over the wall.
Sometimes things really do happen outside in the real world.
It’s an awning, not a wall.
Other side of the street…
Don’t think that’s the wall’s shadow, more like trees or bushes or something out of view. The shadow doesn’t look anything like a wall.
Unless that wall is pretty crumbly, I’d guess there’s a tree above it. And if it’s midday, I think the photo is plausible
Don’t leave us hanging OP, show us the actual tree!
They probably cut off the top of the tree so it wouldn’t interfere with the power line above it. You can see the shadow of the power line.
Neat.
takes pulls out camera and takes photo of my monitor
Okay, Bender, time for another drink.
I took a picture of you taking a picture of your monitor.
Hold that pose for me
It’s an awkward position to hold my dick so be fast.
