Dear Frans, We are sending you these few lines because we would like to congratulate you on the recent addition to your very interesting site and thank you for letting us know about the analemmatic Rasht sundial, a project carried out by people under extreme conditions like the threat of war in the area. We wish to express our admiration and respect to them.
We also congratulate your collaborators in the achievement of this page. Best wishes.
