Ortho Corning Tower

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.
