To: Sundial Mailing List <[email protected]> *Dear All,* * * * Greetings; I quote here a few phrases from the following news item:* http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/n.php?n=0808113810595-2010-08-09 * > > "The complex in Central Anatolian Sivas, which was included on UNESCO's > World Heritage List in 1985, draws many visitors thanks to the silhouette, > whose popularity was spread by a tourist in 2005." > > "One of the visitors, Nilgün Sönmez, who lives in Germany, said the Great > Mosque and Hospital of Divriği is famous in Germany, too." * * And one can get more, from the following link, thereon:* http://www.todayszaman.com/tz-web/detaylar.do?load=detay&link=25482# * It looks like, the shadow technique is applied on the entrance portal of the mosque which is decorated with bas-relief covering. The covering probably portrays the shadow praying man, when sun rays are reflexed back therefrom. The question is that: Could the same technique be utilized also in sundials? One may think of a special sundial, portraying a distinguished personality / event on specific anniversaries.* ** *Best regards,* ** *Mashallah Ali-Ahyaie* -- Mashallah Ali-Ahyaie
