A renovation of Central Riverside Park has included a sculpture/solstice calendar. Made of large standing limestone rocks, it bears a striking resemblance to the henges of Europe. On the Equinoxes the rising sun shoots through a large metal eye perched atop one of the stones and illuminates a colored glass stone embedded in the ground.
