which way is south?

snow is still on the ground on the north side of this massive 4-wheeled thing that never moves, after 3 days of relatively warm and sunny weather.

this still gives me a moment of pause - unexpectedly logical, a trick, like navigating by moss on the north side of trees.

*edit* my cellphone camera doesn't have the best auto-exposure... i had to pull the pic into digikam, which does have some really nice auto-adjust tools, and then re-post it. you can see the car, the shadow of the tree, the sidewalk, and the faint crust of crunchy snow on the grass, right?
