You ESTIMATE it! By the size and it's relative distance to trees and the height above you. I mean, this fellow could READ the lettering.

You should know that the setting sun DOES illuminate objects on the underside of things. Why don't you try it sometime? Here in Florida where the horizon is flat, often you can see things by the setting sun while the sky above (and behind you) is black. I think you just have to put your bogosity meter to use. You couldn't even comment that MAYBE these triangles are an advanced US design. Instead, you make fun of it.
