How to read this map
- House — your building; arrow labeled FRONT is the bay-window wall. Green dashed line (if shown) points toward the best direction for winter sun.
- Garden dot — suggested open garden bed on the sunniest side of the house.
- Orange curve — where the sun travels on the summer solstice (longest day).
- Blue curve — sun path on the winter solstice (shortest day).
- Green bands (ring slices) — where to plant trees, not shadows. Light green = deciduous (summer shade). Darker green = evergreen (winter wind break). Width ≈ tree shadow reach.
- Colored dots on the curves — sun position at solar noon on each solstice.
