It is a very attractive dial and a nice way to decorate one’s roof.  But you 
may want to photoshop out what appears to be an unmetered electrical tap 
powering the bar-restaurant across the street.

Subject: Romanian reclining sundial

 

Dear group,

 

I am happy to be able to share a picture of the first Romanian reclining 
sundial built recently by Damaschin Berende, a friend from a neighboring town. 
It's made of plywood, it sits on a roof and it features both a EoT correction 
table and interchangeable hour marks for winter time and daylight saving time. 
Reported accuracy is so far around 1:30 min. Direction of gnomon across the 
roof was fixed by taking a plumb bob shadow 

​reading ​

from the base of the gnomon at local noon, the elevation angle was calculated 
according to the latitudine and the hours were marked on the shadow during 
September 1st, when EoT was 0. I especially like the wooden pole etched with 
traditional solar motifs and the rooster on top. You can view more photos here:

Please also consider it for the Sundial of the Month on http://sundialatlas.eu

Regards,
