Chateau d If:
But at the time the shot was taken it was after sunset in Europe.
junie:
Remember it is summer time in the Northern Hemisphere and the further north you are the longer the daylight... example..Amsterdam sunset was at 10:04 PM today, July 5... Iceland.. 11:51PM.... don't discount long shadows... short hours of darkness in the summertime...

:welcome: to RFF junie!!
Chateau d If:
Trust me! It was dark in any part of Europe that matters when that shot was taken. Sure the sun was visible above the arctic circle but really, do you think he's tweeting and taking pictures up there?
The shot was 2 hours old at 6:11 pm Pacific time.
That was 1:11 am in Amsterdam, Solar altitude was -14.47 degrees.
That was 12:11 am in London, Solar altitude was -14.76 degrees.
That was 1:11 am in Oslo, Solar altitude was -7.27 degrees.
That was 2:11 am in St. Petersburg, Solar altitude was -6.16 degrees.
That was 11:11 pm in Reykjavik, Solar altitude was 1.27 degrees (too low to make the shadows as seen in the shot).
Just take a look at the Earth shadow curve and you can see where it was dark.
junie:
So sorry.. Did not mean to cause such a stir. I could not tell what time the picture was actually taken. I was “only” saying that unless one has traveled in those more northern areas in the summer..one may not be aware how late the sun stays up!... so just a simple comment not to discount those elements….not necessarily for that particular photo, but any photo where those things may make a difference..that’s all folks! now back to tracking...
