There's a huge difference between "pointing at" the sunset (which the horse clearly doesn't) and facing or looking into the sunset.


From the paper “gives the impression of the figure following a broadly east–west route. “ Does not following equate with pointing ?
Similarly " the horse appears to be galloping along the ridge in a westerly direction, toward the sunset."
Is "galloping along " any different to pointing ?
We know and you accept that it is not facing west (in fact it's not facing any sunset) ,all that is left is the mistaken "impression " and "appears " .
From the horse , given clear skies , you can face every sun set and sun rise on every day of the year , so what ? it is meaningless .
