Description

On the wall of the Catholic Church here in Heidelberg-Handschuhsheim is this sundial. No idea how old the clock is, the church itself is more than thousand years old. Remarkably, I made the shot at 2:00 pm, just as the shadow on the clock displays. Thanks for viewing

Nice to see this type! They are quite accurate if mounted correctly and the angle of the rod is set in coordination with your latitude.
