The Sun Tunnels

These are the sun tunnels located in the middle of nowhere, Box Elder County.  I am hoping to channel some of their sun energy by posting about them today.  Here is some info I found off the internet.  They really are quite interesting.

The Sun Tunnels, by Nancy Holt, are deliberately and strategically placed on the grounds of the ancient Lake Bonneville. The Sun Tunnels are a pleasant surprise in the middle of Western Box Elder County. 

Completed in 1976, the Sculpture consists of four concrete tunnels that are laid out on the desert floor in an open X configuration, 86 feet long on the diagonal. Each tunnel is 18 feet long and has an outside diameter of 9 feet, 2.5 inches and an inside diameter of 8 feet. The tunnels are aligned with each other and with the angles of the rising and setting of the sun on the days of the solstice, around June 21^st and December 21^st. On these days the sun is seen on the horizon centered through the tunnels.
