Hello Aleks I am interested to note that the waymark and photo of the St Louis angel are mine, using a waymarking pseudonym, arby101ca. This sundial was one of many we saw on the NASS sundial tour in 2008. Another notable sundial in St Louis is the Ottoman sundial in the Missouri Botanical Gardens. See http://www.walkingshadow.info/Ottoman.html My design was carved by a skillful sculptor Abraham Mohler. Have a look at his website www.abrahammohler.com to see his work. We would like to collaborate on a sundial like the Chartres and St Louis angel.
By the way, the Chartres angel sundial is a reproduction as the 1578 original was severely damaged by the ravages of time, specifically acid rain.

(it is a large page – scroll in down) But this photo I have got recently perplexed me. It is an original piece of art. The photo is made in Buenos Aires two years ago. You may download the high resolution picture from my page: http://www.boldyrevsundials.com/share1.html This art nouveau-stylized masterpiece is made in 1914. Nothing more is known. Who was the author? What he/she was? Do you know other original samples of successful sculptor-gnomonist cooperation? Perhaps, you made one or had a part in such a work? Please, share.
