Drooping wings

Looking at the photographs of the POF B-17, I noticed that the wings seem to be almost horizontal compared to the marked upward dihedral of the B-17 I seem to remember.
Same goes for Halifax reconstruction at YAM where the outer wings are almost level with the centre section.
Am I seing things or is there something sagging? In other words, do aircraft wings give in to gravity after remaining static on the ground.
