Shadow crosses Queensborough Plaza elevated train stop (7 & N/W) and lands on the low flat building roofs at the corner of Cresent and Queensborough Plaza North. Photos from the train platform, looking south and north.
Following shadow from west edge to its tip, in a parking lot between Hunter Street and Jackson Ave.
2:00 on May 6th is marked by a small sundial – which will remain a decent 2 pm landmark for the first week or so of May. Note the about 5-foot shift in shadow location in 4 days – see previous post at the same spot.
The small sundial is adorned by plaques in the cardinal directions:
North: “Brian Watkins Athlete-Hero”
East: “Vincent C. McNeill Surveyor”
South: “Maria Hernandez Housewife-Heroine”
West: “Joseph E. McGrath Educator”
One wonders who these people are and why they were chosen to be honored in such a manner.
In the first few days of May, a small sundial marks 2:00 in the LIC sundial.
