Real jaggies
Reminds me of early computers with very low resolution screen graphics. Even the first Mac in 1984 had noticeable jaggies in type fonts and also on what came out of the dot matrix printer. Mmm, seems like yesterday, but I just realized that was 25 years ago, before most of the college students I see were born.
Of course, the jaggedness of the shadows, cast from straight railings, are due entirely to the brick steps. I recall that sometimes poor computer screen resolution was pointed out by saying that one could see the steps in diagonal or curved lines. Even now, with many megapixel pictures, long gradual diagonals like utility lines can show that an otherwise smooth, sharp picture came from a digital camera. And it's always possible to zoom into my computer's pictures or print until the jaggies appear.
