| "Stellar Axis" (1992-1997) - Lita Albuquerque |
I missed this April's sun alignment thru the Stellar Axis at the PV Main Library, however, I still get to enjoy the interesting sky view every time I visit the library.
(A cylinder (or “viewing tube”) slices through four floors of lobby space and jutts thirteen feet above the roof. The sun aligns directly overhead two days a year and fills a transparent onyx oval on the floor. See more pictures by clicking lita-albuquerques-zenith-of-stellar.)

This shot of the elliptical has so many layers. Fun to look at.
How lovely! I long to have moon or sky tubes in my house. We once stayed in a cottage in the Shetland Isles off the north coast of Scotland (well, halfway to Norway). It had moon tubes, which gave a gentle light to the hallway and glimpses of the starry sky. There's virtually no light pollution up there, and it was just magical.
Makes it a bit like a Mayan temple. It does make for an interesting perspective on the sky. - Margy
