The ceremony of moving the Pole...as you can see, the sun wasn't out. Although you can't tell from this photo, WSM Shelly Finley is in the tan Carhartts, and w/o electrician Charles Cable is holding the flag (AD).

The marker was unveiled at the September 2013 sunrise dinner, by its creator Steele Diggles. He's seen here with NOAA w/o Kelli Bliss (PM).
a sundial
Another view...one design feature is that it really is a sundial, although the sun wasn't fully cooperating during this test...Steele put it outside briefly for photos before the end of winter (PM).

The designer of this amazing marker is none other than 7x winterover/friend Dana Hrubes! Here is his detailed description of the sundial features, as well as photos of its construction.
