Shadows look very long during sunrise and sunset when the sun is low on the horizon. This is because the angle of the sun's rays hitting objects creates longer shadows.
At sunrise and sunset, shadows are longest because the sun is low on the horizon. As the sun rises or sets, the light is more spread out, leading to elongated shadows. This effect is due to the angle of the sun's rays hitting the Earth's surface.

The sun is highest at noon, therefore any shadows are short. When the sun is low, at sunrise and sunset, the shadows will be long.
Shadows caused by the sun are shortest at midday and longest just after sunrise and just before sunset.
Yes, a shadow is typically longer at mid-day than just before sunset. This is because the sun is directly overhead at mid-day, creating longer shadows due to the angle of the sunlight. As the sun begins to set, the angle of the sunlight changes, resulting in shorter shadows.
To me it looks like someone screaming with a bridge and a sunset behind him. Seariously!
Long shadows are cast at sunset when the sun is at its lowest. The times of sunset (and sunrise) are readily available and may often be found in diaries.
The position of the sun significantly influences the length and direction of an object's shadows. When the sun is low in the sky, such as during sunrise or sunset, shadows are longer and cast away from the sun. Conversely, when the sun is high overhead, like at noon, shadows are shorter and fall directly beneath the object. As the sun moves throughout the day, shadows change in length and orientation, creating dynamic patterns on the ground.
Sunset
The shadow of a tree would be shortest at midday. This is when the sun is at its highest point in the sky, resulting in the sunlight hitting the tree at a steep angle, creating shorter shadows. At sunset, the sun is lower on the horizon, causing longer shadows to be cast by the tree.
