Hi Dialsts:

 

I was looking for new sundials photos and came across this glass "thing" at:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/avelino_maestas/2448169052/ 

 

The photo caption says that it is a sundial located "in the atrium in the
National Acaedmies building".  But that's all it says.  If it is really a
sundial, it sure doesn't look like any type of sundial I have ever seen.
There is no sundial face, shadow, or projected light beam visible in the
photo.

 

All I can think of is that the point at the end of the truss-like structure
might be a nodus that is casting a shadow on a wall or on the ground
somewhere beneath it and out of view in this photo. 

 

Do any of you know anything about it?  Is it really a sundial? In what city
and country i  it located? Who made it?

 

Thx

 

John
