Enjoy my picture gallery of sundials which I came across on holiday trips or in the (physical or digital) vicinity, and which I found somehow interesting. Short, personal annotations accompany most objects. And slowly, some theoretical background is seeping in.
Unfortunately, it is not always sunny during our outings, so sometimes the dials are suffering from a timeout.

Other things to see:

• annotated pictures of some 200 sundials, arranged according to type; see the main menu at the left
• the largest collection of analemmatic sundials on the web: about 50. They are my favorite type, because they are so modest, and of course because we have one in our garden.
• additional information on analemmatic dials
• another favorite section: is it a sundial ??
• an index in case you look for a particular city or keyword
• a discussion on the equation of time
• sundial societies and sundial registers
• some links to other sundial sites
• literature on sundials

Be sure to visit the Sundial Park in Genk (Belgium). A real gem!
