    It’s beautiful, isn’t it? Even the sign that says “west” is pointing right.

      Assuming they’re on the east coast with the ocean on the left of the image, it should be pointing right.

        Yeah, but usually, the perspective matches the map perspective, so people expect west to be left. The fact that the sign is there at all points to the orientation being deliberately backwards.

        Unless the view point is from the north looking south

          I’m not sure what you’re trying to say. If you’re on the east coast with the ocean on your left, you ARE looking south from the north. What is your point?

            You’re absolutely right; I meant to reply to the other comment, but you already corrected them
