Corning Tower Shadow
This shows an analysis of the maximum point of shadow at 2 PM from the Corning Tower in Downtown Albany. As one might guess, the shadow is much shorter in the summer due to the higher elevation of the sun. There are two separate sun paths, reflecting the later hour during daylight savings time in the summer.

I do find the hillshade to make even most boring map a little more attractive. Not all of New York has the LiDAR data in the 3D Elevation Program, like with Albany County, but a lot of places do, and it's far nicer then the traditional digital elevation models.
