Sundials
G'day All,
Anyone else have pictures of sundials? These two are from a trip to Europe I took in September last year. The wall mounted dial was seen on a south facing wall of a church in Oberdiessbach, Switzerland. The columnar dial is a very unique Scottish design. The small image does not do it justice, it starts at the bottom with an ornately carved square column. This is topped by an octagonal "ball" and there are a few dials visible on the faces of the octahedron. The "ball" is topped by a truncated octagonal pyramid. What look like greenish fins dotted about it are in fact the weathered gnommons.
Anyother pics?
Peter.
