Sun Path — 3D Site Diagram
The same 4 seasonal sun paths as the aerial overlay, shown as true arcs through the sky above a simplified isometric model of the site — house, camper, chicken coop, pool, and the major trees, at their real relative positions and sizes.
Sun Path Overlay
Where the sun actually tracks across this specific yard, by season — plotted directly onto the site's aerial photo — plus a full annual reference chart from the University of Oregon Solar Radiation Monitoring Laboratory's Sun Chart Program for the site's exact coordinates (41.57°N, 72.65°W).
Seasonal Sun Arcs Over the Site
Anchored near the main growing area, north-up aerial photo — arc direction (azimuth) is exact; arc radius is schematic (winter drawn furthest out, summer closest in, echoing how low winter sun reaches deep into a yard while high summer sun stays more overhead) — not a literal shadow-length prediction.
Annual Sun Path Chart
21st of every month, 10-minute resolution · polar projection (center = directly overhead, edge = horizon) · faint radial lines mark 2-hour intervals on the spring equinox, matching the official UO SRML chart for this exact lat/lng.
