I captured this in Paris when we visited Eiffel Tower. It was a weekend and naturally the place was crowded and with everyone trying to capture the beauty, there was hardly any space and time to focus and capture.

I tried my best to capture some pics with my mobile cam and later I realized that I was able to capture Eiffel Tower's shadow almost perfectly. I was happy as I never thought it would come out this good (at least for me!).

Edit 1:: I got couple of comments and several messages asking date and time of capture so here you go

Edit 2:: Pasting Suryansh’s comment

Date: 8th Apr

Pretty close to the spring equinox, when Sun is directly over the equator. 8th April means sun a wee bit towards the North of the equator

Time: 11.38 in Paris with Day light saving.

Paris is pretty much on the same longitude as Greenwich.Paris is 48.8°N 2.3°E.Difference between GMT and local Paris time, 2 hours.Which means, solar time at Paris was 11.38–2 + (2.3*4mins) = 9.47AM.

So, the time suggests that Sun was almost at 45° inclination.Latitude also 48° but since the date is 8th Apr and sun has drifted Northwards so its elevation in sky was again 45°.

The time and location both were conducive to get an angle of 45°, which means your shadow was exact the same size as the tower itself and the angle of the shadow pointing somewhat North west.
