Dear All, While I live in "flatland USA" around Chicago, I find the moving shadows of the skyscrapers most interesting as viewed from Navy Pier in the late afternoon. The shadows move so slowly yet they are so very long. But the most awesome sight of shadows for me has got to be from Albuquerque New Mexico at sunrise and sunset. With the Sandia mountains to the east and a 30 mile gentle upward slope to the west, one can watch the shadow of the horizon moving for over 30 minutes.
