> I've been investigating existing monumental ( very large) horizontal
> sundials which use a vertical perpendicular gnomon instead of the
> traditional pole style.  Amazingly, after a thorough search of the web
> (Yes, I checked the NASS site this time!), I was only able to find two
> sundials in the world of this type.  My client likes the idea of a
> sculptural presence and prefers a permanent gnomon rather than a human
> gnomon.

> The first dial I found is a beautiful "bow tie" dial designed by Luke
> Colletti <www.gcstudio.com/images/parkdial.jpg>. The other wonderful dial
> is the Isserplatz dial at <www.chem.vt.edu/chem-dept/field/reutted.htm>

> Does anybody know of any fotos of other sundials of this type?
