You talk about the sun as if its a spot light. ALL shadows cast by the sun are exactly parallel no matter where they are, it is only the perspective of the camera that makes them appear otherwise. The sun is 93 million miles away, do you think it casts shadows that are not parallel? If there are 5 posts that are upright and you are in the middle and it appears the posts are casting shadows in different directions, that is because of the perspective of the camera giving a panoramic effect. In reality they are all perfectly parallel. To get a true perspective of this, we must go to an aerial view of the world. In this picture for example all shadows are parallel and there is no argument, however if you were to place yourself in the car park among the cars you would see shadows that appear not to be parallel, in reality they still are in parallel but it just appears that way. It is impossible for an object 93 million miles away to cast shadows in different directions. What we actually need is a photograph expert on the forum not people making up their own pseudo-science.

Are you for real?

I knew you would carry it on even when it is explained to you.

Nail.. jelly... wall...

I have nothing more to add to the discussion. If you ever walked onto a University campus with your particular brand of pseudo-science you'd be shown the door rather quickly. You seem to believe that everyone on the forum should take that YOUR word is final on the matter and open discussion is not an option. Why should I or anyone else on the forum have to swallow what you have to say without our own take on the matter? Forums are for like minded people who wish to talk about open subjects without having monkeys forever on their back calling the shots. Stop trying to bully the forum into adopting your stance on the matter and suggesting that your word is final.

Stay on topic (the one you started).

Good to see you're still here.

This is the third time I have posted this picture.

I know exactly what I'm talking about.

You however have admitted you don't.

And it's quite obvious.

'I knew you would carry it on even when it is explained to you'.
The poster of this statement has proclaimed that i'm not allowed to carry on with valid arguments and reasonable discussion because it doesn't agree with their pseudo-science view that the Sun can cast shadows all around the planet six ways from Sunday.
Well it may not be my chosen field but for those interested, they can log onto Google Earth anytime they like and verify this for themselves. In fact, if anyone finds shadows taken by the same camera at the same time that are not perfectly parallel they should be awarding themselves the Nobel peace prize.

Ladyinred, I respect your position as a moderator and I respect the views and opinions of all the other members of the forum but when i'm firsly told i'm not me, then after i've defended myself i'm still not me, then I could be me but because there was a chance that I wasn't me my arguments are invalid - it kinda confuses the issue.
The easy option is to agree with the Nobel peace prize winner on shadows and try to be me for at least some of the time. Hehehe. At least i'm not as angry as I was yesterday as you can see by my sense of humour today.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], if you're going to remain here (providing you abide by forum rules there will be no problem) perhaps you could read some of the photo topics to help you, particularly the playground photo.  You will find robust discussion on these threads as the photos play a part in the mystery of what happened to Madeleine.

Maybe we should give this topic a pause.

Let's not forget why we're here, and perhaps all pause for a moment to think about Madeleine.

But the Sun still gives parallel shadows to everything it shines on. If there are two people and a playhouse and the two people cast a shadow in a north east direction then the playhouse will cast a shadow in the exact same direction to the EXACT degree.The playhouse cannot cast a shadow in a north direction, it is quite impossible.

 ..and by evening it's plummeted into this fiasco.  I find it hard to believe that Tony Bennett has clandestinely engaged in an exchange with a new member, one of the April 2016 influx to boot, only for that new member to blab on the open forum about the private exchange.

If you, [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], have some important revelation to make known, you've presumably already waited nine years (or at least nine days) before coming forward, so why now through the backdoor - or more importantly, have you reported your revelation to the police?

An excellent start but bad finish to the day for CMoMM in my opinion.  I feel very disillusioned.
