Römer with the "Verein zur Rettung des Regenwaldes und Naturschutzgebietes La Macarena", and the "Netzwerk Spiel/Kultur" at the Prenzlauer Berg. + + +The covering clay stones were made out of three metric tons of white and brown clay, formed by children of about 50 institutions like school classes and kindergardens of the closer region. The stones were burned and installed in the summer of 1995. Partly they are constructed out of different materials, partly especially formed or ornamented. Six detail images are showing some examples: (White near Red - MC?, Smiley with Heart Eyes, Sun-Moon-Star, Red Broken and Patterned, Rain pits and Stone Hearts in Clay, Red near White - Clay Fish and Sunshine over the Sea). + +In September 1995 the sundial was completed. It was called "living sundial" because it was planned to replace the clay stones regulary when they are destroyed and to add some green to the outside wall of the clock.

It enables us to experience the phenomenon “time” with our own senses. The first examples for telling the time with the help of the sun or its shadow date back to the Ancient World. The are numerous archetypes for sundials built inmany different styles, using different techniques.</p> + +<p>The archetype for the horizontal sundial on top of the slagheap Hoheward is the sundial of the Roman Emperor Augustus on the Campus Martius in Rome.</p> +(It is unknown, whether this ancient obelisk was part of a complete sun dial with hour and declination lines on the morning and afternoon side or whether only a meridian line existed to measure the elevation of the sun in upper culmination. The today's scientific knowledge indicates the existence of a meridian.) The observation of the Obelisk's shadow on the sundial enables the observer to easily determine date and time. Apart from “time” one can also experience the laws of celestial mechanics. Men encounter themselves in relation to the cosmos.</p> + +<p>Representing the first step in the realisation of the Astronomical Theme Park the Obelisk was opened on May 17th, 2005.

</Placemark> + <Placemark> + <name>Sundial, Pajala, Sweden</name> + <description><![CDATA[<p>The world's biggest sundial today is in the Torne Valley, north of the Arctic Circle. The Guinness Book of Records has put Pajala, northern Sweden, on the map, and its sundial - formed as a "round square". </p> +<p><img src="http://www.pajala.se/mun/pajala/www.nsf/($all)/A43859111165E6F2C1256EE40021DDF3/$file/soltorg23.JPG"></p> +<p>The sundial in Pajala, 38.33 m. in diameter, holds the world record, according to the Guinness Book of Records. The previous record was held by Disney World in Orlando, Florida, with 37.18 m. </p> + +<p>The sundial was inaugurated by the Swedish Minister of Labour Margareta Winberg in July 1996. Pajala is situated at 23.28 ° East, 67.21 ° North, which is 70 km north of the Arctic Circle, making a circular sundial possible. This is due to the fact that the Midnight Sun describes a complete circle over the horizon. + +<p>Its masts of dried fir form a unique spatiality around a circular "square". The site is especially used for local functions such as Pajala Fair, Romp Week and the Northern Lights Festival. </p> + +<p>The central square in Pajala, through its size and latitude, offered conditions for a sundial dedicated to the Midnight Sun. Architect Mats Winsa took his inspiration from the square in Siena, and for the sculptures in the park - astronomical instruments in India dating back to the 18th century. Naturally, it was a challenge to compete with the previous record from 1991 by the world-famous Japanese architect, Arata Isozaki. </p> + +<p>The sundial captures the sun's movement by allowing the shadow of the central gnomon to fall across the hour divisions of the surrounding posts. The gnomon, like the Earth's axis, points toward the Pole Star, which according to Finnish-Ugrian mythology (the region has Finnish roots) holds up the firmament. The "sun wheel" embedded in the ground here (forming a cross in the circle) is in fact a calendar. Water bubbles up from four sources corresponding to the four principal points of the compass. The water gathers in the central pond, which was designed with children in mind. </p> + +<p>For their survival, humans have followed the rhythm of the sun. The need to observe the changing seasons and days led to the early development of the sundial. Our lives today are characterised by obedience to mechanical and national time - inventions separate from true solar time. The sundial displays true solar time, which in Pajala is half-an-hour ahead of national time. </p> + +<p>The sundial in Pajala celebrates light, and acts as a reminder of its significance for all life by functioning as a biological clock in a world fettered by artificial time. The hormone rush in spring reminds us of our direct dependence on sunlight as living beings.</p> + +<p>Info and image source:<a href="http://www.pajala.se/mun/pajala/www.nsf/english/$first?open&mname=Menu%C2%A4menuID=2CAE%C2%A4start=1">www.pajala.se</a></p> + +<p><img src="http://holmers.com/Pajala/Pajala1_050709.jpg"></p> +<p>Image source:<a href="http://holmers.com/Pajala/Pajala1_050709.jpg">http://holmers.com</a></p>]]></description> + <LookAt> + <longitude>23.36723004664742</longitude> + <latitude>67.21282676944374</latitude> + <altitude>0</altitude> + <range>124.9604027877409</range> + <tilt>3.010594647959025e-010</tilt> + <heading>-1.130925335798896</heading> + <altitudeMode>relativeToGround</altitudeMode> + </LookAt> + <styleUrl>#msn_sunny_copy70</styleUrl> + <Point> + <coordinates>23.36716252896882,67.21299216873888,0</coordinates> + </Point> + </Placemark> + <Placemark> + <name>Sundial, Tenerife, Spain</name> + <description><![CDATA[Reloj del sol + +<p><img src="http://members.aon.at/mbrandn6/media/fotos/landart/watchteneriffa/tentotal1.jpg"></p> + +<p><img src="http://members.aon.at/mbrandn6/media/fotos/landart/watchteneriffa/tennah.jpg"></p> + +<p><img src="http://members.aon.at/mbrandn6/media/fotos/landart/watchteneriffa/tentotal3.jpg"></p> + +<p><img src="http://members.aon.at/mbrandn6/media/fotos/landart/watchteneriffa/draft.jpg"></p> +<p>Image source:<a href="http://members.aon.at/mbrandn6/pagesgerman/framesetg/framelandart.html">http://members.aon.at</a></p> + +<p><a href="http://www.teneriffa.panoshot.de/de/panorama-interaktiv/gernot-huber-stiftung-reloj-del-sol-223.html +">Interactice picture</a></p>]]></description> + <LookAt> + <longitude>-16.56926659562192</longitude> + <latitude>28.08256590461729</latitude> + <altitude>0</altitude> + <range>88.29371157400612</range> + <tilt>0</tilt> + <heading>8.633540737161729e-005</heading> + <altitudeMode>relativeToGround</altitudeMode> + </LookAt> + <styleUrl>#msn_sunny_copy70</styleUrl> + <Point> + <coordinates>-16.5693071701084,28.08261960124695,0</coordinates> + </Point> + </Placemark> + <Placemark> + <name>Sundial, Perranporth, UK</name> + <description><![CDATA[The Millennium Sundial was designed by Stuart Thorn.

three-dimensional bronze of Michelangelo's Arm of God painted on the Sistine Chapel ceiling. The arm was sculpted and cast in bronze in New England. The rock is local but the installation required the assistance of a mining engineer and a special drill. The bronze Roman numerals give the time. A sundial is precisely accurate once a year and this was set at noon on Christmas Day. The arm points to the Hill of Prayer, site of the Church on the Hill at Felicity. +At the entrance to The Center of the World campus is a 25 ft. high section of the original stairway of the Eiffel Tower. In 1983, the Government of France removed approximately 500 ft. of the original stairway. Built with the technology of the 1860's, the weight of approximately 54,000 lbs. was causing sway at the top of the then 94 year old tower. The 6,600 lb. section serves no practical purpose, but is part of the spirit of Felicity. +The idea of making Felicity the Center of the World came to Jacques-André when he'd been mayor only a few months. Somehow he convinced Imperial County, CA, to recognize his claim. Soon he had convinced the Institut Geographique National of France, General Dynamics Corporation, and The People's Republic of China to recognize it as well. "I knew I had to build something, but I didn't know what. My wife said, 'It's a desert; why not a pyramid?' So Jacques-André had built a 21-foot-tall pink marble pyramid, its interior lined with mirrors, a plaque embedded in the floor, marking the exact spot. For a dollar, tourists can now stand on the official Center Of The World and take a picture themselves at the official "Center Of The World". +The Felicity Post Office was dedicated on 5 December 1987 at a time when thousands of small post offices were being eliminated as an economy measure. The town, whose population numbered two, saw over 2,300 letters mailed that day. The dedication ceremony was highlighted by a speech in Chinese by Consul Zhou of the People’s Republic of China who traveled 600 miles for the occasion. It is operated by the town at a cost to the Federal Government of one dollar per year. Twenty uncashed one dollar checks are on file.</p> + +<p>Image and info credit:<a href="http://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WM19WB">www.groundspeak.com</a></p>]]></description> + <LookAt> +
