Equatorial dials


Peizerweg, Groningen Private garden, Midwolda
Equatorial dial, Groningen (May 1999) Equatorial dial, Midwolda (April 1999)

Two equatorial sundials, reduced to the functional minimum. Very elegant!

Once a printing company was located here. The sundial was a gift of the employees at the occasion of the company's 25th anniversary in May 1976. It was made by a Groningen blacksmith and had been gold-plated. The ring/fork spanner symbolizes the never-ending adjustment of the presses for an optimum result.
