Sundial of the month November

Equatorial sundial

In Bolivia, a splendidly carved wooden pedestal supports this stone equatorial sundial made by Nani Morello.
Bolivia is in the southern hemisphere, but is quite close to the equator, and so the sundial is nearly upright.
Both north and south sides of the sundial are therefore easily read.

I have advised, through email, on the design of this sundial, using my ZW2000 software.
There are more photographs on the erection of this sundial on the site of Reinhold Kriegler, Germany.
These international contacts lend an extra dimension to contemporary interest in gnomonics.
