The shadow of an object on a flat horizontal surface starts out long , pointing west. As the day progresses the shadow shortens and in the Northern hemisphere moves north of the object becoming shortest and pointing due north when it is noon local solar time. The shadow lengthens and points more westerly later on in the afternoon.
