Hi Ed!

Hmm, are you sure? Seems to me it would be 45 degrees, but what would I 
know against a genius such as yourself?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow

"Shadow lengths change dramatically throughout the day. The length of a 
shadow cast on the ground is proportional to the cotangent of the sun's 
elevation angle – its angle θ relative to the horizon. Near sunrise and 
sunset, when θ=0° and cot(θ) is infinite, shadows can be extremely long. 
If the sun passes directly overhead, then θ = 90°, cot(θ)=0, and shadows 
disappear completely."
