RE: Elliston Park Analemmatic

[Roger Bailey]

Hi John and all,   Thanks for the comments on the Elliston Park sundial. I was pleased to see that it was featured on the cover of the latest NASS compendium. A lot went into the construction of this dial besides the gnomonic design and layout that I provided. For example the brass numbers, the horse shoes and the beau soleil were special brass castings inlaid into the concrete. The seasonal markers were developed after this dial was build but I hope to get them added before the NASS Conference in August. Now that the NASS article has been published I will sorting out where and how to post some pictures as I don't have my own web site.   Cheers,    Roger Bailey Walking Shadow Designs N 51  W 115    -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of John Carmichael Sent: March 23, 2003 7:18 AM To: Sundial List Subject: Elliston Park Analemmatic Hi Roger Bailey:   I just got the March Compendium and saw your beautiful new Elliston Park human analemmatic sundial in Calgary on the cover.  It's in a wonderful park setting and will get much use I'm sure.  I like the sculptural presence of the hour posts with their numbers and the shadows they cast.  What are the numerals made from?  They look like they might be brass inlayed into the tops of the hour posts. But where are the Bailey Points (seasonal markers)?  Did you design this dial before you discovered them?   thanks   John   p.s.  I hope you get a good turnout for the Calgary NASS conference. For those of you attending the conference, I visited Banff last summer, and if you are looking for a great, beautiful-beyond-belief place to stay before or after the conference, try The Moraine Lake Lodge!
