Hello Fabio,
I agree with your comment. I should have provided more specific location information. Some years ago I
provided these pictures to Piers Nicholson to add to his Camino Sundial Tour I did not provide a link to his
site as it was hacked recently. Google "sundials on the internet" and be wary of the warning
"This site could damage your computer". I gave away my guide books and maps so it will take a while
to get good location data. Check the Fabio Savian's "Sundial Atlas" as I suspect all these dials
are on his trail.

Dear Roger,
Are you saying that the "Sundials on the Internet" website is now 'too
dangerous' to visit, since it has been hacked - and so might therefore
cause actual damage to any computer, of people who visit that website?
I imagine this is something to do with 'viruses', or similar "nasties".
I had notified Piers Nicholson (about 10 years ago), that his website
did not comply with the internationally-agreed "W3C" standards for a
properly 'validated' website - but he said that he could not (or would
not) correct this, just because it was basically too big a job to do!
As time goes on, unfortunately his "Sundials on the Internet" website
will simply fade away - unless Piers 'bites the bullet' and corrects
all of the errors, which make it 'incompatible' with modern Browsers.
If you want a good 'ranking' on the Search Engines (such as "Google"),
then you MUST make sure that your website is properly validated - as
otherwise this will cause problems for visitors, and so I would advise
all members to check their own websites via http://validator.w3.org/
It is fast (and free), plus will tell you how to correct any errors.
Sincerely,
David Andersson.
That's why, in my time as web master of the British Sundial Society, I
made it my priority to take all the time necessary to rewrite it so that
it was W3C-compliant (and optimised for search engines) after it had
been previously written using a variety of free software. As a result,
it became (and remains) the number 1 sundial site according to
http://www.alexa.com/topsites/category/Top/Science/Astronomy/Calendars_and_Timekeeping/Sundials
