Had a clearer shot of BJ and Tyler running and jumping as they enter the Segesta Theater; you can see that the sun is to their left and that their shadows are fairly long which to me indicates late afternoon. FYI the Theatre is a semicircle with a diameter of 207 feet hewn out of the top of Mount Barbaro. A curious feature is that the stage faces north, probably to allow a view of the hills and sea.
Chateau d If:
GMan, I think you are right about the shot of Massimo Theater being 'atmospheric'. It's the kind of shot they may use to tell us that this is the destination upon arrival in Palermo. That's why it is an early morning shot. Nobody is there yet.
Lack of back packs when F&B run up? Well, okay maybe the place is just an intermediate destination. But still they could shoot it in the morning before teams got there.
About the time estimate for when F&B arrive there. All of the guess work goes into estimating the angle of shadows cast by legs (people and animal) with respect to that front of the theater. I'm away from my notes right now but using the GE image of the place and my crappy broken protractor I measure the column face to the theater to be facing 60 degrees azimuth. Those leg shadows point a little more northward than that, say by 10 degrees, resulting in 50 degrees as their azimuth. That means the solar azimuth was 50 + 180 = 230 deg. That happend at 3:16 pm.
If you want me to try a different estimate for the leg shadows I will. :tup:
