If you want to know more about it there are a multitude of sources with masses of information about it in clear simple terms or highly detailed complex ones.<br />
Examples of some of these sources can be found here.<br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: xx-small;">The sources were freely obtained on the Internet and those links grouped together here for convenience.</span><br />

The way we view imagery is exponentially developing to the Nth degree - and I believe this to be in a good way.<br />
<br />
For hundreds, "nay, thousands" of years viewing and, if possible touching art and imagery has existed.<br />
<br />
People with imagination, particular artistic talents, certain abilities or capabilities have been producing or sponsoring the production of imagery in a phenomenally wide range of media, styles, sizes, scope and capturing the imagination and wonderment of others.<br />
<br />
Today this is wealth of imagery and artistry is incredibly greater in depth and breadth.<br />
Today you can see, touch, hear, feel, taste, smell and even sense it by means way beyond what was envisaged even a few years ago.<br />
<br />
3D (3 dimensional) printing on the other side of the Earth or even off it, virtual reality inventiveness and other electronic advances are examples of how changes have come about but that is not all.<br />
General improvements in the wealth - and not necessarily great increases but moderate improvements in disposable incomes in every country mean 'ordinary' folk have bought or visited artwork and imagery, travelled and seen things intentionally or incidentally in their travels in ways that folk in the past would not even dream of let alone image could happen.<br />
<br />
Shakespeare once wrote words to the effect of "the World's your oyster".<br />
With respect to imagery and art today never has this been so true.<div class="blogger-post-footer">http://www.stonsy.com</div>Stronsyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03273302713863751522noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4449018711842634698.post-41722749189652674912015-11-16T11:23:00.002-08:002015-11-16T11:23:19.870-08:00Imagine a...Imagine a...<br />
Something, anything, maybe an apple, a boat on the ocean or an elaborate, artistic, complex room within an historic palace.<br />
<br />
What do you 'see'?<br />
<br />
Generally, loosely, you will see an apple, a boat or the room in all its glory.<br />
Specific detail does not necessarily enter into it - nor is it needed.<br />
<br />
Imagination is a wonderful thing but the devil is in the detail and unless you are well trained, experienced or lucky that detail will be illusive.<br />
Having said that, more often than not it doesn't matter - it really doesn't.<br />

Sundial Sources</h2>
<br />
This post will begin a round the globe view of what is available from who and where.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">[This 'Sundial Sources' post 06/09/14]</span><br />
<h3>
So you want to have a sundial?</h3>
<br />
<h4>
<span style="color: blue;">Where can you find them to see?</span></h4>
Sundials are available to see in all countries of the world but what is publicly available will vary considerably.<br />
Some countries where there are enthusiasts with an historic, artistic, aesthetic, engineering or perhaps simply a personal interest have logged and identified sundials throughout their countries. There are even sundial trails - basically tourist routes which will enable a number of dials to be seen and often learn about their history, design, construction and other facts associated with them.<br />
<br />
The Internet is a good source of information when trying to find out more about where to see sundials.<br />
Types of location will include churches and other religious buildings, castles and fortified structures, ornamental parks and gardens, public spaces such as public squares and town or city centers, museums - especially in countries with more prolonged sunshine throughout the year, large garden centers and many other places.<br />
See elsewhere in this blog for various examples in various places.<br />
<h4>
<span style="color: blue;">Where can you find them to buy them?</span></h4>
With so many sources all over the world, again the Internet is a great place to start to find the right source - from garden centers to artists studios and from specialist artisans to manufacturers in bulk.<br />

From a few pence/cents for a small paper dial through to whatever you want or are able to pay.<br />

<h4>
<span style="color: blue;">Who makes them?</span></h4>
See under "<i><span style="color: blue;">Where can you find them buy them</span></i>" above.<br />
<h4>
<span style="color: blue;">What types of sundial are there?</span></h4>
There are dozens upon dozens different types and styles of sundial.<br />

<h4>
<span style="color: blue;">Can I influence the design?</span></h4>
That depends upon the designer you choose but in principle you certainly can.<br />
Just have a chat with the designer, manufacturer or even the sales person before making a purchase.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">How large are they?</span><br />

<h4>
<span style="color: blue;">How do you decide?</span></h4>
That really is down to you as an individual or organisation dependent upon your need or requirements.<br />
Is this simply for your garden as a nice feature to sit beside a bird bath?<br />
<br />
Or could it be perhaps for a prestigious property such as a <a href="http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">National Trust</a> stately home in the England, Wales or Northern Ireland - or the National Trust in <a href="http://www.nts.org.uk/Visits/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Scotland</a>, maybe <a href="http://www.nationaltrust.org.au/heritage-places" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Australia</a> or <a href="http://www.giornatefai.it/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Italy</a>, a <a href="http://www.royal-oak.org/index.php" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Royal Oak Foundation</a> property in the United States of America, a <a href="http://www.paradores-spain.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Parador in Spain</a> or even a town centre or public - or private - park somewhere - anywhere in the World.<br />
<br />
The need and the requirement will certainly help you to decide what to get - and the artists, creators, designers and manufacturers will help you with your decision.<br />

Sundials Out and About</h2>
<span style="color: #cc0000;">[Last updated addition 07/09/14: "Sundial, St Thomas's Square, Salisbury"]</span><br />
You may be surprised to know just how many sundials are around - including where you live.<br />
<br />
Unless you live in the open countryside the chances are that there will be local examples on a house - for example in Salisbury, England,<br />
<br />

Here is another example, this time on the wall of a shop that can be found quite easily on the wall above a shop window as you wander around the small lanes around the City Centre.<br />

As previously written they have been about in many forms for thousands of years and today there are a wealth and variety of types in more places than ever from the traditional locations such as on churches and within castles to private houses, gardens and public spaces.<br />
<br />
When you are out and about sundials are not always obvious, frequently being mounted on walls at high levels, sometimes 2 or 3 stories above street level, or as what seem to be artistic objects in parks it is not always obvious what they are.<br />

Sometimes they are hidden away in the most unexpected places - you could live near one for years without even knowing that they exist. This may not be because they are simply too small and insignificant but because of where they are.<br />
An example of this is the one on the roof of the International Village Mall in Vancouver, BC, Canada.<br />

<h2>
World's Most Expensive Sundial / Sundials on Mars</h2>
<div>
Yes, there are sundials on the 3rd planet in our solar system the red planet - Mars.<br />
No, they have not been found there but sent there mounted on the Mars Rovers that NASA landed on Mars in March 2012<br />
Also sometimes referred to as the World's most expensive sundial.<br />
A nice claim but is this so actually the case?<br />
<br />
The sundial itself is a fairly simple device and not an expensive item but if its delivery and ongoing operation as a part of the Mars Surveyor mission are included in the cost then yes it could be classed as the most expensive sundial.<br />
<br />
The ball is the nodus, the post is the gnomon. The cameras on board are able to use the colors on the corners for calibrating colors, and the inner circles for greyscale. There is a mirrored section on the middle circle to reflect the sky.<br />

<a href="http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/guderup-sundial/view/?service=0" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Europe's Highest Sundial</a></h2>
Found at Guderup, Denmark it is 28 meters in diameter and can sometimes be accurately read to within 2 minutes, The clock is 12 meters high and thus Europe's highest. Around it is located a circular bench because the clock is almost located at the old herredsting place where the "wise men" sat in a circle and took key decisions.<br />

SUNDIAL SOCIETIES</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There are an increasing number of countries that have
sundial societies in them – often more than one – Spain for instance has at
least 4 and the UK has at least 3.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The <a href="http://www.ppowers.com/sundial_societies.htm" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sundial Societies, Groups and Websites of the World</a>
page lists a number of them and includes quite a range of countries that have
dedicated societies, groups or web pages.<br />
<br />
This page and a broad range of other sundial related information and comment can be found on the colourful <a href="http://www.ppowers.com/sun.htm" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">SunInfo</a> page. The specific section/link can be seen in the lower left hand corner of the image below but this is only shows a very small part of the overall page dedicated to sundials.<br />

<h2>
SUNDIAL TRAIL</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Currently, February 2014, there are may different countries
with sundial trails throughout the world (see this link, <a href="http://www.sundials.co.uk/sunlist.htm">http://www.sundials.co.uk/sunlist.htm</a>) with the UK and Ireland for instance showing 18 different trails from County
Down to Guernsey to Cambridgeshire and beyond.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The countries list below has grown by another 3 or 4 since
2007 as the popularity of interest in sundials rises.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Note: it can be seen that there is a great similarity between the listings for the trails and the groups/societies/websites.</div>

Alarm Sundials</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sundials that are designed to provide some form of alarm as a result
of the sun reaching a particular point.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The mechanisms for this are many and as imaginative as can
be and today may include electronic devices that emit light, sound or vibration
etc. at the appointed time.<br />

</div>
<h2>
Altitude</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The altitude of the Sun is the vertical angle it makes above
the horizon (from -90° to +90°). The Sun's altitude and azimuth define its
position at any given moment. At sunrise the altitude of the Sun is 0°.</div>
<h2>
Altitude Sundial</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This uses the altitude of the sun at a given latitude and
time of year as a means of telling the time.</div>
<h2>
Apparent Solar Time</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
See: <i>Equation of time</i>.</div>
<h2>
Azimuth</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A horizontal angle measured from the meridian. It is
positive towards the East and negative towards the West. The Sun's azimuth at a
particular time is its bearing at that moment. The azimuth is 0° when it
crosses the meridian of a place.<br />
<h2>
Analemma</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you look at the sun at exactly the same time every day
you will notice the sun is not always in the same place. If you measure the
sun’s location every day during a year, you will see the sun draws an analemma
in the sky (a figure of 8).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This apparent motion of the sun is the result of two motions
of the earth.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
L<span style="font-family: inherit;">et us assume that the orbit of the earth around the sun is
an exact circle and let us assume that the angle of the axle of the earth is
exactly perpendicular to the plane, in which the earth’s orbit is located.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In that case the sun will be exact at the same point in the
sky at a fixed point in time.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">However, the orbit of the earth is an ellipse and the axle
of the earth with its plane of motion is approximately 23.5 degrees. Because of
this, the sun makes its figure of 8-shape in the sky – the analemma.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<h2>
Analemmatic Sundials</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A type of horizontal <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sundial" title="Sundial"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">sundial</span></a>
with a vertical <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnomon" title="Gnomon"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">gnomon</span></a>
and hour markers positioned in an elliptical pattern.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There are no hour lines on the dial and the time of day is
read on the ellipse. The gnomon is not fixed and must change position daily to
accurately indicate time of day.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This may include people acting as the gnomon in which case
they are known as <b>Human Gnomon</b>.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In <st1:city w:st="on">Biarritz,</st1:city> <st1:place w:st="on">France</st1:place>,
there are two analemmatic sundials in marvelous locations
overlooking the great sweep of the bay with its Atlantic waves. These sundials
are especially popular with children; you stand on a spot marked for the month
of the year, and your shadow indicates the approximate time. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Modern Sunclocks of Kilwinning, Ayrshire advise these are
essentially both "theft-proof" and "damage-proof", they are
perfect for public spaces (children's play areas, <i>etc</i>) and are popular as Millennium-markers.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Made from almost any material (stone, wood, concrete,
mosaic) or just painted onto the ground, which is the method normally used by
Junior Schools. Set into a lawn, it
will not interfere with grass-cutting.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They automatically cater for both standard and daylight- saving time - so you never need to adjust your layout.
You can have a maintenance-free conversation piece that is unique - no two
'Sunclocks' are identical, as each layout is specific to its own latitude and longitude. All you need is any level
area around 6 metres (20 feet) across.</div>
</div>
<h2>
Armillary Dials</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Armillary dials are equatorial dials with extra circles
emulating those found on armillary spheres. A true armillary sphere is not a
sundial but a model of the heavens. The extra circles on an armillary dial actually hinder
time keeping by blocking the sun at various times.<br />
Original source [September 2008]: <a href="http://www.sundials.org/faq/">http://www.sundials.org/faq/</a></div>
<h2>
Co-latitude</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The complementary angle of the latitude of a place, equal to
90° latitude.</div>
<h2>
Colored/Coloured Light Sundial</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Originating from the <i>Light
Sundial</i> idea but utilising coloured filters to provide coloration to the
area around the shadow or to the area around the dial itself. By design this could be variable either
mechanically or naturally based on the time.
For example the filter could be a different colour in the morning to
that in the afternoon.</div>
<h2>
Cylinder Dials</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Also known as the <i>Pillar
Dial</i> or <i>Pyrenean Shepherd’s Dial</i> or<b> </b><i>Cylinder
Dial</i>.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Not particularly accurate but easy to make and inexpensive
indicating the time from the Sun's altitude, which depends not only on the time
of day, but also on the latitude and time of year.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It is designed for the specific latitude and adjustable for
the date and made from a cylinder, usually hollow, capped by a movable top to
which a gnomon is attached (stored inside when not in use).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hour lines are either inscribed on the surface or drawn on a
paper glued to the cylinder.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hour lines appear as curves on the rounded face of the
cylinder and the months of the year are traced around the base of the cylinder.</div>
<h2>
Declination</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>of a wall</b>: the
angle which a vertical wall makes relative to the meridian. When one designs a
vertical sundial, one must take account of the declination of the surface on
which it will be placed. In <st1:place w:st="on">Europe</st1:place>, the
declination of a south-facing wall is 0° of an east-facing wall is -90° of a
wall facing west +90° and one facing north is 180°.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>of the Sun</b>: the
position of the Sun north or south of the celestial equator.</div>
<h2>
Declining Dial</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A vertical dial that does not face one of the cardinal
points of the compass (see also: <b>Direct</b>
<b>Dial</b>).</div>
<h2>
Dial Plate</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The supporting surface of a horizontal dial. The lines and
numbers of a dial are laid out on the dial plate.</div>
<h2>
Dialist</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
An artisan who designs, constructs and installs sundials.</div>
<h2>
Diptych dial</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A diptych is any object with two flat plates attached at a
hinge and devices of this type were popular in the ancient world. The diptych dial was a portable sundial. A
face was on the inside of each leaf. One leaf formed a vertical sundial, the
other a horizontal sundial. The shadow caster, or gnomon was a string between
them, and calibrated as to how far they should open, as the angle is critical.
Such a sundial can be adjusted to any latitude by tilting it so its gnomon is
parallel to the Earth's axis of rotation.</div>
<h2>
Direct Dial</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A vertical dial that faces one of the cardinal points of the
compass (see also: <b>Declining</b> <b>Dial</b>).</div>
<h2>
<a href="http://www.planetary.org/search-results.html?q=earth+dial&x=0&y=0" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">EarthDial</a></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sundials around the world each with a webcam whose images

sundials in all the different time zones can be seen.<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Check the first web site below for all the details on how

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As your eye sweeps across the images on this web page, the sun's
shadow will be seen to sweep across the faces of the dials. Website viewers
can gain a palpable sense of how the sun illuminates the globe of the Earth. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
This project is an adjunct to the first extraterrestrial sundial, the MarsDial
on NASA's Mars Exploration Rovers that landed in January
2004 (see under: <i>MarsDial</i>).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Of course at any given time, half the dials will be in
darkness. Some will be in the Southern Hemisphere where the sun goes through
the northern sky daily, and the hour lines on sundials go in the opposite sense
(anticlockwise). The shapes of the lines on dials in the tropics will contrast
greatly with those in <st1:place w:st="on">Scandinavia</st1:place>. There will
be a multitude of languages and cultural motifs on the various dials.</div>

<h2>
Ecliptic</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The plane
containing the orbit of the Earth around the Sun, which by extension projects a
circle on the celestial sphere.</div>
<h2>
Equation of Time</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The value of the
difference between <i>Apparent Solar Time</i>
and <i>Mean Solar Time</i>. The difference
arises from the movement of the Earth in its elliptical orbit as well as the
fact that its axis of rotation is inclined to the ecliptic. The difference can
vary by as much as +/- 16 minutes. The Equation of Time is sometimes
represented in the form of a figure of eight placed on the noon line of a
sundial.</div>
<h2>
Equatorial Dials</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
See: Equinoctial Sundial.</div>
<h2>
Equinoctial line</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The line of declination on a sundial corresponding to the
equinox. This line makes a right angle with the gnomon in a plane sundial.<br />
<h2>
Equinoctial Sundial</h2>
A type of sundial in which the plane of the shadow-receiving surface is parallel to the equator.<br />
The <a href="http://www.antiques-clocks.co.uk/antique-clocks/d/portable-equinoctial-sundial-signed-cary-london/139962/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">equinoctial sundial</a> is also known as equatorial dial because the dial plate rests on a plane parallel with the Earth’s equator. <br />
When set-up properly the dial plate sits on a ring parallel to the equator and the gnomon, sometimes called a polestyle on an equatorial dial, points along a line parallel to the Earth’s axis. Weather permitting a shadow is cast by the gnomon onto the chapters that are engraved in five-minute increments.<br />

The <a href="http://www.pocket-sundial.com/en/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">KALA Pocket Sundial</a> for example is based on the universal equinoctial ring sundial, a historic sundial used by ancient sailors and mathematicians. This particular type of sundial also indicates the true North and is aligned with the axis of the Earth. In this case it is designed as a contemporary response to a historic timepiece and can also be used as sun compass, a model of the world or even a piece of jewelry.</div>
<h2>
Equinox:</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The day of the year when the Sun crosses the celestial
equator in its apparent movement. At this moment, the Sun rises exactly in the
East and sets exactly in the West. It is the period of the year when night and
day are of equal length. The equinox occurs on 20 March and 23 September.</div>
<h2>
Glass Sundials</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Not actually sundials themselves but pictures of all types
of sundial that have been categorised on a dedicated website into four
different groups: stained glass, etched glass and plastic, projection, and
mosaic.</div>
<h2>
Gnomon</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Also known as polestyle on an equatorial dial.<br />
An object that by the position or length of its shadow
serves as an indicator especially of the hour of the day. The name given to a style placed vertically
to the plane of a sundial. The shadow cast by the tip of the gnomon can
indicate both the time and the date.</div>

It is only the heliochronometer that gives a direct and accurate reading of
Standard Time throughout the sunlit year. It is a precision timepiece
determining time exactly - literally to the minute. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Used earlier this century
to set the time of civic clocks and to standardise time on railway networks, it
essentially became redundant, in 1913, with the introduction of Radio Time
Signals.</span><br />

<h2>
Horizontal Dials</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A type of sundial in which the
plane of the shadow-receiving surface is horizontal.</div>
<h2>
Hour</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Babylonian Hours</b>:
an ancient system which divides the day into 24 hours, commencing at sunrise.
They thus measure the number of hours elapsed since sunrise.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Italian Hours</b>: an
ancient system which divides the day into 24 hours, commencing at sunset. They thus
measure the time left until sunset.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Standard Time</b>:
the time shown by clocks, which will be the same for all inhabitants of a
particular time zone. It is <i>Mean Solar
Time</i> corrected for the difference in longitude between a place and the
reference longitude of the time zone in which it is located.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Mean Solar Time</b>:
Obtained by adding the Equation of Time to the Apparent Solar Time. The Mean
Solar Time gives a constant hour duration over the year. It varies with the
location.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Apparent Solar Time</b>:
the time naturally shown by a sundial. It is defined as 1/24th of the interval
between two successive passages of the Sun across the meridian. This period of
time varies throughout the year.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Temporary Hour</b>:
an ancient system dividing the interval between sunrise and sunset into 12
hours. The length of an hour therefore varied throughout the year! (between
40-80 minutes). These hours are sometimes referred to as <i>Biblical Hours</i>.</div>
<h2>
Human Gnomon</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
See under <b><i>Analemmatic</i></b> <b>Sundials</b>.</div>
<h2>
Latitude</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The angle formed between the vertical of a place and the
plane of the equator. Northern latitudes are positive; southern latitudes are
negative.</div>
<h2>
Light Sundial</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
See under: <i>Renaissance</i>
<i>sundial</i>.</div>
<h2>
Lines</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Hour Lines</b>: lines
drawn on the dial plate of a sundial which permit us to tell the time from the
shadow cast by the style. Hour lines are drawn for hours and sometimes for
half-hours and quarter-hours but much more rarely for 5 minute intervals.<br />
<b>Declination Lines</b>: lines drawn on
the dial plate of a sundial which permit us to determine the date from the
shadow cast by the style. It is conventional to show the dates on which the Sun
enters certain signs of the Zodiac, for example, for the Sun declination 0°
(Aries and Libra), +/- 11° 29' (Pices and Virgo), +/- 20° 20' (Gemini and
Sagittarius). These lines are also called <i>diurnal
arcs</i>. </div>
<h2>
Longitude</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Longitude of a place: the angle formed by the <i>meridian</i> of a place with the Prime
Meridian in <st1:city w:st="on">Greenwich</st1:city>.
Longitude is positive for locations to the west of <st1:city w:st="on">Greenwich</st1:city> and negative for those to the east.</div>
<h2>
Longitude correction</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The time difference between the location's meridian and the
time zone’s meridian (Greenwich or local time zone). There is a difference of 4
minutes for each degree of longitude.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For example, if you buy a sundial made for <st1:city w:st="on">Roswell</st1:city>,
<st1:state w:st="on">New Mexico</st1:state>, at longitude 105° W. and place it
in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Tucson</st1:city>, <st1:state w:st="on">Arizona</st1:state></st1:place> at 111° W., it can be off by about
24 minutes.</div>
<h2>
Mass Dials</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Also known as ‘scratch dials’; these were inscribed on a
buttress or wall close to the porch of a parish church in the Middle Ages used
to indicate the time for religious service or gathering.</div>
<h2>
Mars Sundial (MarsDial)</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The sundial on board NASA’s Mars Exploration Rover Spirit,
which landed on Mars in January 2004.</div>
<h2>

a place.geographic: the great circle passing though the poles and the zenith of
a place.</div>
<h2>
Meridian Dials</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Also known as ‘<b>Noonmark
Dials’</b>.<br />
<h2>
Nodus</h2>
Nodus: An indicator or marker on the gnomon that helps to define an exact point on the shadow.</div>
<h2>
Noonmark Dials</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Also known as ‘<b>Meridian
Dials’</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The simplest sundials do not give the hours but note the exact
moment of 12:00 noon used historically to correct mechanical clocks sometimes
so inaccurate as to lose or gain significant time daily.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In U.S. colonial-era houses a noon-mark can often be found
carved into a floor or windowsill indicating local noon providing a simple, accurate
time reference for households that do not possess accurate clocks.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Even today in some Asian countries post offices have set
their clocks from a precision noon-mark.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The typical noon-mark sundial was a lens set above an
analemmatic plate, an engraved figure-eight corresponding to plotting the
equation of time versus the solar declination.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When the edge of the sun's image touches the part of the
shape for the current month, it indicates noon.</div>
<h2>
Pillar Dials</h2>

Sundial</span><span lang="FR"><o:p></o:p></span></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A patented sundial which illuminates the time with a crisply
focused beam of light, rather than casting a fuzzy shadow.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This is a new design in sundials developed by <a href="http://www.precisionsundials.com/renaissance.htm">Precision Sundials</a>
LLC in Burlington, VT.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Cylindrical focusing mirrors on the triangular support
project a sharply focused beam on the inside of the helix. A timescale on the
inside of the helix directly reads watch time generally to within 30 seconds of
the atomic standard, when properly set up.</div>
<h2>
Ring Dial</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A ring dial is for use in a fixed latitude and is a small
portable dial in the shape of a cylindrical ring for determining time. See also <b>Universal
Ring Dial</b>.</div>
<h2>
Sawyer Equant Sundial</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This dial reads solar time on its bronze plate, and civil
time on its granite plate. Both sundials adjust for latitude using a precise
patented wedge mechanism.</div>
<h2>
Scaphe Dial<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_Toc275969402"></a></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The scaphe (or
skaphe, also scaphium or scaphion) from the 3<sup>rd</sup> century BC and was a
sundial consisting of a hemispherical bowl with a vertical gnomon inside it,
with the top of the gnomon level with the edge of the bowl. Twelve gradations
inscribed perpendicular to the hemisphere indicated the hour of the day.</div>

<h2>
Solstice</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The moment in the year when the Sun reaches in maximum <i>declination</i> in the north or south of the
celestial equator. The Summer Solstice (21 June) in <st1:place w:st="on">Europe</st1:place>
is the longest day of the year and the Sun is in its highest position in the
sky. The Winter Solstice (21 December) is the opposite — the shortest day and
the lowest point the Sun reaches in the sky.</div>
<h2>
Spot-On Sundial</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Its unique feature is the split gnomon, which casts the
shadow and every day at noon a line of light shines between the 2 plates for
around 5 minute’s; this feature allows them to be set up precisely, so that it
will tell the right "time by the sun" for years to come.</div>
<h2>
Style</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The name given to the shaft or triangle which casts its
shadow on a dial. A <i>polar style</i> is oriented parallel to the Earth's axis. A vertical
style or gnomon is placed vertical to the dial plate.</div>
<h2>
Sub-style</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The line corresponding to the projection of the <i>style</i> on the dial plate of a sundial.
The angle which the sub-style makes with the noon hour line indicates the <i>declination of the dial.</i></div>
<h2>
Suncatcher</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">

or light catcher is a small, reflective glass or for example mother of pearl
piece that is hung indoors, so that it "catches the light" from a
nearby source, usually hung at windows.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The South-western American Indians first began making them
and they are now still popular in that region</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

may be mass-manufactured, or they may be created by hand, and can be of varying
simplicity of design from an arts and crafts project to a professionally
handmade glass sculpture.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Some designs are simple and abstract with perhaps some <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_(sculpture)" title="Mobile (sculpture)"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">mobile</span></a>-like chained elements, while more
complex designs often evoke plants or animals.</div>

is something like the optical equivalent of a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_chime" title="Wind chime"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">wind chime</span></a>,
and indeed many designs combine the two.</div>
<h2>
Sundial</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A device for telling solar time from the position of the
Sun's shadow thrown by a gnomon. If the
dial is a horizontal or vertical plate, the hour lines are at unequal angles to
each other. A vertical dial, which faces
one of the cardinal points of the compass, is called a <i>direct dial</i>; one which does not is a <i>declining dial</i>. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Concise Oxford dictionary defines it as an instrument
showing the time by the shadow of a pointer cast by the sun on to a plate
marked in hours.</div>
<h2>
Thew Patent Dial</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A sundial which uses numbers (for example ) cut-out of a
strip or band to let light in the shape of that number aligned with a fixed
marker on a surface below it to indicate the time.</div>
<h2>
Time-Mark Sundial</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sundials with an engraved message on the side of the gnomon
to give a unique gift for an anniversary, birthday, wedding, or special event
and the simple variant of the Time-Mark sundial idea in which the gnomon is actually
set to indicate the specific time/date for the occasion concerned rather than
the solar time.</div>
<h2>
Time Differentials and the need for (some)
Adjustable Sundials</h2>
<div class="MsoBodyText">
<span style="color: windowtext;">There is a major difficulty
for sundials in some countries.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText">
<span style="color: windowtext;">Spain for example keeps
Central European Time, even though most of Spain is west of the Greenwich
meridian. This means that there is always a difference of at least one-hour
between sundials and clocks in Spain, and in summer time, a difference of more
than 2 hours. A sundial in Pamplona should have a difference of around 2 hours
and 15 minutes, since Pamplona is nearly 4 degrees West of Greenwich.</span><br />
<h2>
Universal Equinoctial Ring Sundial</h2>
See: Equinoctial Sundial.</div>
<h2>
Universal Ring Dial</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A <b>Ring Dial</b> is
for use in fixed latitude, but the universal ring dial can be used over a wide
range of latitudes. It consists of three rings and a strip with slider. A flat
vertical brass ring, with grooved outer edge, fits within a ring of circular
cross-section, and slides within it. The outer ring is suspended from a shackle
or mounted on a foot. One side of the inner ring carries a scale of degrees,
0-90, for adjustment to latitude using an index on the outer ring. Pivoted
within the inner ring is a further ring which can be swung out at right angles,
carrying the hour scale.</div>

University of Hawaii Sundial</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This sundial is one of many sundials that are more
accurate--to within four seconds--than the famous Egyptian prototypes.</div>
<h2>
Vertical Dials</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Vertical Dials and <b>Reclining
Dials</b> are basic types of sundial.</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
With a vertical dial the plane of the shadow receiving
surface is vertical and for a reclining dial it is horizontal.</div>

<h3>
Why sundials and compasses?</h3>
Both of these are a bit of a related passion in part because of their history and their immense variety.<br />
<br />
The principle purpose of both is quite simplistic - show me the time and show me the way.<br />
However the manner in which this is achieved has gone from a historic need to know to aesthetic beauty with function but no longer the need.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Show me the time</h3>
<div>
As you are beginning to see sundials do not always come in handy, back pocket sizes.</div>

Even compasses are not always as portable as you might imagine.<br />

Admittedly this is only a compass rose in this case - but... what a rose.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">One Step at a Time</span></h2>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<i>Every journey begins with the first step</i> ~ Lao-tzu<br />
<br />
<i>When eating an elephant take one bite at a time </i>~ Creighton Abrams<br />
<br />
These quotations are just variations on a theme and say it all when it comes to art too.<br />
<br />
No matter how large, or for that matter how small the artistic result, it has to have started somewhere whether it is the first hammer and chisel blow to a block of stone for a sculpture, a brush stroke on a canvas, the kneading of clay for a vase, a stitch in an embroidery, the humming of a tune and jotting down those notes on paper - they are all the starting point.<br />
<br />
The end result is simply a continuation from the start until the end - even if the end is incomplete.<br />
<br />
So - get started...................... <br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Appearance and the test of time </span></h2>
<br />
Time and again consideration of appearance is based on just that - appearance.
An initial impression can have a very powerful affect on the reviewer.
As the old adage says "First impressions count".
Having written that though, how many times have you seen something that has had that effect, which may even have lasted for some time then, later - perhaps even years later, you have looked at something again and said "Oh, no!"
<br />

If the appearance appeal stays - that is wonderful.
If it does not stand the test of time then obviously there are various options depending on the use to which it has been applied.
Options include but are not limited to:
- Remove it
- Live with it
- Revise it to suit
- Completely revamp it to revitalise and modernise it.<br />

</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'lucida grande';">Another image that has really struck me was one that I expected to be a decent enough photograph but the outcome, untouched as with all my images unless requested, was (for me at least) a dramatic stunner.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'lucida grande';">This led to experimental art and design including the use of unusual materials and media in a flurry of exciting activities over many years.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'lucida grande';">Ideas range include the fondly loved "Oliver" story book from primary school days held together with coloured string to cotton wool stuffed embroidered butterflies hand-stitched onto canvas. Other examples are bas relief llama heads in modelling clay to acrylic cheetahs, wood sculpting to oil painted wood panels. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'lucida grande';"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'lucida grande';">Then of course, there have been the doodles.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'lucida grande';">When travelling on a long train journey or whiling away a spare few moments between some activity (this could be work, studies or a visit to the cinema), doodles came into their own.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'lucida grande';"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'lucida grande';">Sometimes this would be <i>almost </i>planned.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'lucida grande';">A particularly well thought out idea might need development in one area or another.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'lucida grande';">So, a whole set of doodles would be created with variants on a theme until the idea developed the way that seemed to be the most suitable - then a more formal work would be created such as a painting, model or photographic study.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'lucida grande';"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'lucida grande';">A moments inspiration could lead to doodles being added to scraps of paper, tissues, book bindings and even the palm of my hand to ensure that the creative point in time, that spark, was not lost forever and could be built on later - sometimes to great effect.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Stronsy for the World</span></h2>
I have always had an interest in art and design using a wide variety of media.<br />
<br />
One of my earliest pieces of memorabilia that I know of and still have as a prized possession that I created myself is in the form of a small booklet, with a crayon picture on the front tied together with string, and is the basic story of Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens asking for more...<br />
<br />
Since then I have dabbled with art and design that has ranged from crayon pictures to clay forms, wood carving to leather work and acrylic art works to computer art.<br />
<br />
Now I am sharing some of my imagery and designs by way of the following website gallery -<br />

This was followed fairly soon afterwards by someone with very nice comments about the gallery referred to above and one picture in particular called "...Another Visit?" <a href="http://www.zazzle.com/another_visit_print-228401765574941612">http://www.zazzle.com/another_visit_print-228401765574941612</a><br />

Believe it or not, this, and its associated set of pictures are genuine, untampered with images, which originally left me with a bit of a dropped jaw, open-mouthed moment - and I was there!<br />

Do aliens or extra terrestrials as we refer to them exist?<br />
Are they on their way or are they already here - hence the title.<br />
<br />
DO visit my gallery and enjoy what is there - it's free to look and enjoy.</div>
<div>
If you like what you see, and I sincerely hope that you do - there is wide variety of material for a broad range of tastes, <b>DO </b>tell your friends and collleagues....</div>

<div>
Most people during their lives think of ideas that they never get to put onto paper or act upon.</div>
<br />
<div>
A lot of folk write their ideas down but after a time they do not know where those writings are because they get lost or get destroyed.</div>
<br />
<div>
Yet there are so many ideas that each of us has over a lifetime that the mind boggles when thinking of the possibilities of the ideas that have, or may have come about and have just 'died', often with their creators.</div>
