The Burlington Earth Clock is a contemporary compass, calendar, and clock that looks like a prehistoric stone circle on the shores of Lake Champlain. If someone stands in the middle and assumes the role of gnomon—the component of a sundial that casts a shadow—the shadow cast upon the ground will tell the time. With specific stones orientated in the four primary cardinal directions, the entire circle serves as a compass. Circles for Peace, a grassroots nonprofit, produced this stone circle.
