USAAAO — 2017 First Round
Question 12
The following series of photos were taken on March 17 around noon time (each photo taken about 3 minutes apart from the previous one). In each photo you can see a white vertical pole (about 1 foot high), and a piece of paper at the base of the pole. Notice how the shadow cast by the pole on the piece of paper is slowly disappearing. Based on the date and time, and the length of the pole’s shadow, where were the photos taken?
