Look at the truck in eastbound lane 4.

Then look at other cars and trucks to the west and compare them to the
cars and trucks seen in the link.

The ones to the west seem elongated, but not blurred, and others seem
stubby.

Why is this happening? And why is that one truck so blurred?
Obviously, the satellites are not geostationary and the photo isn't
likely to have a shutter speed so fast that it prevents blurs, but
this is quite interesting.

If you think that's nasty, check out the I-55/64/70 bridge (Poplar
Street) in St. Louis. It's an obvious photo splice; it looks like a
FUBAR alignment job by the contractors.
