Sun Dials

free counters

Another of my passions is solar horology - sun dials - the study of which is known as gnomonics! There are some wonderful devices around,
and whenever I see one, I cannot resist taking a photo. Quite often, however, they aren't working when I'm present, as there seems often
to be a cloud in the sky following me around, and preventing me from learning the time! I still take their pictures, though!

So, in this gallery, are some example of the wonderful variety of sun dials I have encountered on my travels.
