For you metric cats, that's about 46 meters.

Aerial view of a sculpture by Mark Di Suvero at Crissy Field, San Francisco.

I estimated the length of the shadow using Photoshop's measurement ruler. Measuring the length of the shadow and the height of the person, I found the ratio of these measurements to be 27. Estimating the height of the person to be 5'9", this results in an estimate of the length of the shadow of 155 feet.

Aerial view of sculptures by Mark di Suvero, with the Golden Gate Bridge in the background. Eight enormous di Suvero sculptures are on display at Crissy Field (San Francisco) through May, 2014.

Unlike the first shot I posted of these sculptures, it's good to have some people in the frame to show their scale.
