Hi John, Some years ago a horizontal dial with vertical gnomon is realized in Hoogeveen Netherlands. It is on a round place of about 20 m diameter. With colored stones the pattern is made. I have somewhere a photo, but can't find it now. I only have a drawing of the dial now to give you an impression. The dial is numberd for longitude corrected time and for day light saving time.
