First of all, the shades on the pyramids are totally inconsistent with the Sun position. Then, comparison with Google maps photo shows that the three great and three smaller pyramids cannot be aligned the way shown in the photo. I suppose that we see in front the three smaller pyramids, then Hufu, then Khafre, and Menkaure behind, facing SW. It is also difficult to see a sinrise/set at this latitude in the SW.
