Default A navigation puzzle...

This is an image my friend Rob Smith took on a recent photo
expedition.

http://www.swsports.org/images/5mith_080421_1556.1w.jpg

Here's the puzzle - which direction is the fence running in terms of
North, East, South, or West.

Hints:

This was taken in New South Wales, Australia and around midnight under
natural moonlight.

The light bobbing along the fence line was Rob playing with an led
flashlight.

The direction is dead on in both directions.

Have at it.


The moon is slightly to the east at the time (4-21-08 23:31:08 UTC +10) and
location in question. Since the shadow thrown by the vehicle is to the
rear, the vehicle is facing east. Since the vehicle is parked parallel to
the fence, the fence runs east-west. Elementary.
