Thanks for sharing this with us, Steve. (I wish I had known that there would be such an event so close to where I live.)
I remember Sasch sharing his dream with us at a NASS meeting some years ago and its realization is an event well worth celebrating! Is there an address (at least one nearby) so we can set our GPS on a sunny day and drive down to see it in all its glory? What did US Customs and Immigration say when you told them you were going to see the "first shadow" of a sundial?😊 Len On Sun, Sep 23, 2018 at 2:48 PM Steve Lelievre < [email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > > I offer congratulations to everyone involved in yesterday's inauguration > of the wonderful Bellingham Mural Sundial - the huge and stunning > south-facing vertical dial in Bellingham WA conceived by Sasch Stephens, > that was the subject of an international design competition last year.
