The zigzag shadows are depicted in the official renderings (e.g. see the opening post in this thread), but they look much nicer in real life. Again, I bet this project is exceeding even the architect's own expectations.
I always thought of them as shadows also but when I took that pic the sun was in the east to the south of Vista. Those aren't shadows but reflections of the adjoining frustums.
