Artist's Description
"PoleHenge". A ND solstice alignment.
Last year, as I was driving through the countryside south of Penn, ND, I noticed this "infinity view" of powerline poles stretching off into the distance. I checked my sunset-direction planning app, and was surprised to find that the summer solstice aligned closely with it (strange coincidence!), so I marked my google map with a star. straight East-West (equinox- Sep 21 and Mar 21) alignments like this are quite common (since powerlines are often East-west aligned), but not solstice alignments, the angle of which varies depending upon latitude. Anyway, just by luck, I was back near the location this year, so I took the opportunity to catch a couple images of the fortuitous alignment. Maybe 1000 years from now, some anthropologists studying ruins will hypothesize that these strange poles were the "stone henge" of our times!

About Peter Herman
Peter Herman was born and raised on a farm in North Dakota.
