About this piece

Walloon keeps literary time: Hemingway summered on this lake as a boy at his family's Windemere cottage, and the Nick Adams stories carry its woods and water in them still. The clock holds the etched lake's quiet arms and points under ordinary hours, a small daily tribute to extraordinary shorelines.

It suits a cottage bookshelf wall, ideally near the collected stories.

The lake's full depths are carved on the Walloon Lake 3D chart.
