Take another look at the photo in #21. The shadow of the open door is being cast onto the fuselage of the plane. You can see the open window in the shadow. You can even see the edge-on open window by following the shadow back to the source.

The other shadow on the left wing is cast by the rudder.

Then why do the two shadows point in two different directions? Shouldn’t they be parallel if they are cast by the same light source?

And compare the width of the shadow of the door to the width of the shadow on the left wing. the vertical tail is much wider than the door, so it should cast a wider shadow, but the shadow on the left wing is the same width as the shadow of the door on the cabin top.

Plus, if you draw lines back from the left wing shadow, they don’t intersect the tail edges. At all.

the shadow on the left wing, whatever its cause, is not of the tail.
