I just put some pic's on my website [www.precisionsundials.com/consult.htm] of an analemmatic I made for a local school. It was inspired by Fabio Savian's Tree Analemmatic concept. I used apples to mark the hours, and put a worm in the 8:00AM apple to show when school begins (8:10). This "8:10" worm is sectioned off into months to correct for the equation of time (my idea). The tree was painted onto asphalt, and the apples and dateline graphics were printed on outdoor vinyl banner material at Kinko's. The vinyl then received 4 protective coats of marine spar varnish, and was epoxied into place. How long will it last? Time will tell.
