Use Google Earth to compare landscape, river valleys and woods and forests with those depicted on Oleg's screens. You Guys, that's pretty accurate !

Start with the high altitude view than go down to the lower / ground level view.





Sun position issue.


Hypothesis : The observer position alone has moved verticaly. The time is frozen.

On the high level view, check the relation between the Isle of Wight and the west coast of French Contentin and you'll find the sun has a southerly position.

On this ground level screenshot, look at the sun peeping south above the horizon.




Except if the observer lives near Tromsø, at midwinter in the south UK , the sun should rise on a more eastward direction and should get a slightly more westerly sunset.

Thanks for the explanation Rudolphe, that makes sense!
