Default Facing West? No Way!

It looks like it was taken near the intersection of 109 and 109A just north of 20 Mile Bay. The alignment of the tip of Haley Point and the entrance to Buzzell Cove on the right side of the picture helps define this location. Everything else fits except Black Island looks more like a peninsula than an island and the scale of Buzzell Cove may be a little off.
No way! If the camera was facing west we would have seen the shadows behind us. I agree with the time of the year, but here also I have to disagree, the shadow of the colorful tree in the foreground is going away from us. I must go with my original examination of a ESE direction.
