Hi John et al, I think the 'spiral dial' is probably a clever bit of photoshopping of the normal vertical dial in the same photostream! Regards, John D ------------------------------------

He gives no information about it, but I think it might be located in Spain-possibly at the Susqueda dam because it is in the photographer’s photostream next to photos of the dam. See: http://www.flickr.com/photos/davidmontse/3166570780/in/photostream/ Also in this photostream is this photo of a more traditional vertical declining dial with the same decorative border design: See: http://www.flickr.com/photos/davidmontse/3166570782/in/photostream/ So I bet both dials are on the same building. Notice the curved hour lines of the multiple dial. I am not familiar with this kind of dial. What kind of time do the multiple dials show? And why do the multiple rod gnomons face in different directions? It is a beautiful design though and is most fascinating! John John L. Carmichael Sundial Sculptures 925 E.
