    Did not think of the index arm. The mood of the scene just made me think 'time sight.'

    Judging by the shadows, I guess it's it's around either 8am or 4pm?

    To my eye, the shadows on the hats suggest that the sun is fairly high.  But more definitive is the position of the index arm, slightly past halfway.  50° perhaps?
