The shadow of the flagpole is at about 275 degrees (making the sun at about 95), and the angle of the sun looks rather low......didn’t this supposedly take place at mid day???? Looks more like 8 or 9 am.

(note that the orientation of the post of the satellite image and the “vector” to JFK is not to the north, go to google map to get a better idea)

Sorry, but I was hoping people would notice that the Google Earth photo is not oriented North and South.

I intentionally rotated the view counterclockwise to match the same angle from the camera lens to Liberty Island...I zoomed in to the star-shaped base on both photos.

Please adjust your coordinates accordingly.
