by Nancy Holt. ... large spheres designed to resemble fallen, extinguished stars ... contains spheres and poles with shadow-images inset in the ground. Each year on Aug. 1, the day (in 1860) William H. Ross acquired the land that became Rosslyn, the shadows align with the shadow-images at 9:32 am.

This park is simply awesome and amazing. It is well maintained and organized by the way
The shadows match the bars on the ground just once a year in August
Great, relaxing place to visit
"Each year, on August 1, at 9:32 an, actual shadows cast by the poles and spheres align with permenant forms in the shape of the shadows on the ground beneath them."
