  • This is a "virtual" sundial of a horizontal pole near the roof line casting a shadow onto the curved wall in front of the school building.that faces due south. No hour lines or declination lines have been painted on the wall, but there is a shadow "map" indicating where the nodus shadow is throughout the year (see photo #3). As an educational tool, students can create their own map out the time, date and shadow tip on the curved wall.
