Sure, I'm so free to quote some other guy who has made some screenshots:

Notice how the telephone pole is blocking the sun where I am standing, which logically means I should be standing in its shadow. But notice where the pole's shadow is. Way in front of me! Nowhere near where I am:

Here's the sun behind a tree, blocking the sunlight from my view, so I should be in its shadow, but again, the shadow is way in front of me:

And a graphic to show what's happening:

EDIT:
I know from other source that the reason for this lies in the way the engine calculates the sun's coordinates which are passed to the shader. The geometrical horizonal taken for sun light direction calculation is about 40 degrees below the game world's horizon - meaning I'll need a way to correct this shader-wise. A simple vector shift or rotation with these 40 degrees should be accurate enough to make shadows look acceptable.
