Is this photo the right way up? the cloud shadows are "above" their clouds - as if the camera was upside down (or the picture was rotated). Totnesmartin 11:49, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The image was taken from space, I don't see what the positioning of the clouds shadow tells us except for where the sun was positioned in relation to the camera at time of shooting. aliasd·U·T 15:34, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
what i mean to say, at this early time of the morning is, is there such a thing as 'right way up' for an image from space?aliasd·U·T 15:37, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Pointing North upwards, perhaps. But depending on the position of the sun at the time, the shadows could appear in many different places. Doesn't matter – Gurch 15:48, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I flipped it on my computer and it doesn't look much better actually, at any rotation. Totnesmartin 17:38, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
