I noticed the same effect with the shadows. The main part of the shadows
were very deep and the edges appeared sharp, unless you looked closely.
Then there was a sort of penumbra, a not as deep shadow along the
edge of the darkest part. My guess is that the sun was acting
as an extended source, sort of like a rectangular flourescent
fixture.
