EP1 ~ "Real Fast! Quack, Quack!"
Boingo:
OK, I think we're talking about the same doorway (on the west side of the square). So now the question remains, what time is it in the promo pix, given we assume the racers are at that very same door. I guessed high noon, based on the shadows. I suppose you disagree based on your timeline. Did you assume that FC is first stop upon arriving in Beijing? Might it rather be the pitstop for that leg? I noticed that Peter is not wearing the same clothes shown in the Seattle starting line group picture.
Chateau d If:
It looks like the promo shadow points straight through the doorway. So that means it is pointing west (or east) not north.
I think this is the morning after they arrive in Beijing. That could give them a chance to change clothes.
At noon the sun is up high with a solar altitude of 71 deg. The promo shot has a very low solar altitude making those long shadows. It looks like the place in the shadow where Peter's knee is falls on the guard's foot.

NO!....... The shadows run parallel to the doorway. The doors open to the west. (Suggest you check the larger promo pix previously posted in this thread. You may have cropped this pix, and lost all perspective.) If the promo door is the same as the pbase door then they both face east/west. This door is on the west side of the square. The shadows clearly point NORTH. How can the same door be both facing east/west and north/south? lol. :wall:
Chateau d If:
The shadows look like they are perpendicular to the doorway to me!
You can see that they are almost parallel to the lines in the paving stones.
Just to get my perspective back :lol: I made a drawing to clarify what direction the doorway is. It includes lines that define the view that is seen by the camera.

Boingo:
Nope, sorry to say, wrong. You've got the doors opening toward the square, where they clearly open away from the square westward. Looks like we completely disagree, so there's just no convincing you. LOL. I'm not giving in on this, so we'll just have to wait till Sept. 17th, or until someone else is brave enough to chime in and take us on. lol. It's as clear as day to me, sorry you just can't see my point. lol. :( OK, on to other things.
