Optical effect question
Posted: Fri May 30, 2014 11:04 am
Hi,
This is not exactly desert related but lots of experienced folks here. When I am not in the Mojave I am hiking in Topanga a lot here in LA. I have been at the top of Eagle Rock dozens of times and when the sun is just right I look down a few hundred feet below right when the sun is behind me and casting a shadow below on the foilage. I see a distinct circular/spherical effect right where the shadow ends. Many people I try and show it to do not see it. Shadows being cast at diff angles? What do you all think?
Thanks, C
