Without knowing a lot more about the shot, it is difficult to tell. It appears that the photo was taken around mid day, judging by the length of the shadows of the individuals in the foreground. I am in the high desert of the southwestern US 5000 ft above sea level. On a day such as this photo was taken, clear sky and within a couple of hours of mid day, UV is very high and the light tends to overpower shadows. If you look at the windows that are within shadows they are black, if you look at the backpacks they are black along with the dark vehicles. Almost everything else within the photo is white with a lot of light reflecting from it. It looks to me like a true representation of what was there when it was taken.
