The laminar boundary layer does separate earlier.

You are right about the Von Karman Vortex Street. As far as I know, it only applies to two dimensional objects (i.e. cylinder). I have a bad habit of not differentiating between circles, cylinders, and spheres. The point of the image was to visually see the motion of flow separation.
