A chance find in a tiny hamlet on the French / Italian border: this rather lovely home-crafted sundial. In a simple unshowy way, it is designed with care and lends enchantment to its overall purpose. I enjoyed seeing the passage of (part of) the day being marked by this dial.
The inclusion of notably cheerful signs of the Zodiac adds to the charm.
The pretty gnomon has an ingenious simplicity. Altogether a delightful find.
