See: http://photo.xuite.net/nycl.chiu/1477368/129.jpg ChiLian Chiu 2009/5/12 John Carmichael <[email protected]> Hi John D: I feel so dumb for having asked my questrion about the “Eternal Dial”. Looking closely at the photo, I can see the the crack in the plaster is repeated in each dial face, so it is obviously photoshopped. It really fooled me at first since the photo was taken on an overcast day and there were no shadows being cast. Those would have been a telltail sign. Of course, the curved hourlines and the gnomons pointing in different directions make it all too obvious too. Thanks for answering John C. p.s. But it’s still pretty!

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.
