A large hill to the west has a one week early warning for spring equinox on its main peak and the equinox on the other.
Winter cross-quarters are at the southern basal step while the northern basal dip is half-way to the summer cross-quarters which themselves are marked by a distant low hilltop.
The north lunistice range spans a dip. The minor side of the south one is well marked and the major side is a high precision cut off.
Vertical scale x2, maxpic 3200x1600.
Orange lines mark the annual solar round. Lunistice positions over the 18.6 year lunar nodal cycle are blue. More about the Solar Calendar More about the Lunar Calendar More about this placeLook East
