Today is the first anniversary of Ian Boyle‘s Pillar Project. Ian built a dry stone pillar in our front yard, which looks to the sunset through a pipe embedded in the stone. He positioned the pillar to catch the summer solstice sunset. Here is this year’s pillar’s-eye view.
This is last year’s solstice sunset. Last year, the Indian Blanket flowers were still in bloom. We have had so little rain this year, they are already gone to seed. The trees have fewer leaves this year. But the pillar stays the same.
Ian envisioned an international pillar project, with pillars in New Zealand and the UK. My husband and I photographed our pillar throughout the year, and I hope to have an online photo album ready to view within a week.
