Horizon Observatory - a photo on Flickriver

            The observatory is located on a plateau on top of Halde Hoheward in Recklinghausen, Germany. Halde Hoheward is a mine dump which is currently converted into a recreational area. The observatory enables visitors to visually observe the movements of earth, sun and stars during their yearly cycles and provides indicators for special events such as the solstices. The two arches with 90 m diameter divide the sky into forenoon and afternoon halves and into northern and southern hemispheres. Due to their size and prominent position on top of the mine dump, the arches are visible over long distances.
