BRUNSWICK (OH) – May 24, 2015. HUMAN SUNDIAL: After several years of planning, Brunswick Art Works has installed a human sundial at Brunswick Lake Park. The colorful sundial is a 16-foot diameter work of art composed of stained cement and etched black granite. The sundial was inspired by Valorie Snell, a recently deceased member of Brunswick Art Works.
To use the sundial, stand on the granite marker that indicates the current month and raise your arm so your hand is directly over your head. Your shadow will fall on the approximate Daylight Saving Time.
