Lets see who will get this right.
The picture below shows a Kenya Airways A310-300. Your task is to determine the direction of the plane e.g…. is it going towards the sun?
I will give the answer in a week’s time to hear all the possible views. I ve asked the same question to many people showing them this picture, some of these people were originating from aviation background…. and the results I got were interestng…..
Thats an optical illusion isnt it? I hope I didnt place this question already at the forum. I searched to see whether I did but my databases said I didnt.. “Unless I m very mistaken”
In any case Enjoy the illusion

I promised I would give the answer in a weeks time but considering I got 100% of the same answer, it is my duty to announce it.
Yes indeed it is coming towards you and it revealed not only by the undercarriage light. Look at the wings as well, you can notice it has deployed all her flaps which means she is going for landing.
I had trouble persuading those who said that it was aiming towards the sun that it was wrong. Even if i showed them the undercarriage lights still they didnt believe me.
Well done though people

I don’t think where the sun would be reflecting would be a giveaway. But the lights do. If you would have blacked the lights out, it may have been slightly more confusing!
😎 Great photo though!

The glare of the sun would run down the left side of the body were it facing the sun

The nose wheel lights are a giveaway. Clever idea for this pic though.
