In the morning these shadows point towards the Houses of Parliament



Description

enjoy

ha ha brilliant

I've seen this on another forum and the general opinion was that it was photoshop'd

i don't know, i found another picture somewhere that was of the HP. with the edge of the bridge in view, and you could see them, but pointing the other way. must have been taken in the afternoon.
of course now i can't find the picture

if you search westminster bridge shadows on google images theres loads

lol, so photoshop'd - there is no way you'd get that shadow from what is effectively 3 circles

Not shopped!

It's not just a 2D cutout of 3 intersecting circles - there is significant thickness to the feature. The straight sides of the, er, phallus (hee hee) are cast by the straight edges (in the thickness direction) of the 'corners' where the top circle intersects the bottom two circles. Hope that explanation makes some sense. Been there, seen it, analysed it All you need is a bright low sun not too far from perpendicular to the bridge.

I said phallus - huh huh huh

As Liam says, it's the thickness of the circles that give the erm straight lines.

I am up in town just around the corner on Tuesday if the sun is out I'll get a pic.

actually..... fair enough - that makes sense looking at the picture again!

Can we assume the designers cocked it up ?

These look real, but I'm pretty certain the ones above have been "enhanced" somewhat.
