Neat picture! Why do they always lean to the west? More sun?

I think there's plenty of sun once they're that high, but that is one possibility... also the winds tend to blow west. But I really am not sure what is the cause

if that location is near the coast it could have someting to do with the sea and land breezes. or it could just be something genetic.
