dailybell: SUNRISE, SUNSET 1/21/08

dailybell

2008 was the inaugural year in an ongoing, aspirational project dedicated to the observation of the sun every time it crosses the horizon and to sharing the awareness of that moment with others while ringing bells. It is based on the conviction that something as inarguable as the movement of the earth can be used as a point of unity and awareness among large groups of people who might otherwise find it impossible to agree.

SUNRISE, SUNSET 1/21/08

As the year progresses, it would be interesting to follow the movement of the sun as it travels North and South. Since it’s only possible to actually see the horizon in the West as the sun sets, I’ll find a fixed point to periodically take photos of the setting sun. Then we can watch it travel through the seasons this year.

This old compass is also an ashtray that Norman has had for decades. Good combo- compass/ashtray.
