Spring in the Tucson Area

Description

On March 20, 2004, we welcome spring in the Northern Hemisphere. The Vernal Equinox has been celebrated for centuries in the Southwest. On the Equinox this spear of sunlight crosses an ancient solar symbol carved by a Native American. This marker has survived for a millennium. This image is part of my eight-year study of Signal Hill, Arizona, near Tucson. You can see more of this study by going to this web site Contents page and clicking on Archaeoastronomy and then Signal Hill.
