Depends on the Time of year. In the winter, the sun sets MUCH earlier the further north you go. In the summer, its just the opposite.

It doesn' look quite right to me either...the "line of demarcation" (separation between sunlight and darkness looks very sharp - not much in the way of twilight. Also, not a cloud in the sky from Central Africa to the Arctic Circle?

Still a cool, if doctored, pic!
