Polyhedral Sundial


This polyhedral sundial is built using freestone slabs, and consists of seven separate dials.
The first photograph shows:
a horizontal dial,
a polar south dial,
a vertical south dial, and
a vertical west dial.

The second photograph shows:
an equatorial dial,
a vertical east dial, and
a north dial.

The north dial lays hidden under the equatorial dial and seems to get mainly shadow.
But during the hours that the north dial should operate the sun is low in the sky, and the style casts its shadow on the dial face.
