Sleeping Mountain
Exact local time
The hour sets the mountain's geology. Every minute changes its profile and luminous seams. Seconds pass as faint tremors, drifting scree, and heat beneath thin cracks.
Geological section
The copper profile shows the hour's base geology and the minute's seeded ridges. Green seams expose the current mineral path. Heat pulses mark seconds.
How to read it
Large strata identify the hour. The profile and glowing seam together identify one of sixty minutes. A heat pulse is the current second.
At noon and midnight
Noon slowly lifts a new ridge. Midnight opens a dark caldera and exposes a cooler seam without a flash or camera cut.
