-- The shadow of an object always extends from the object in the direction
away from the light source that produces the shadow.
-- If you're outside, the light source that produces your shadow is most likely
the sun.
-- The sun moves across the sky, from east to west, during the day.
-- So the direction in which your shadow extends from you has to move, from
west to east, in order to always stay opposite the sun.
