Exactly , and it was not from the perspective of the orientation of the horse .
You can watch the midwinter sun set over ,( pick) a famous standing stone , or hill top etc , as long as you are free to choose the observing point .That is not the case here ,we are constrained by the orientation of the horse which is not looking towards any sunset at any time ,it is actually avoiding them . That is the one aspect of this nonsense that is funny .


lol. I dread to think what Aubrey would say about it.
