Someone’s asleep on the job, and it’s not the sundial.

The Gnome’s wings are the Gnomon, but the AI description is gormless.

The Collins Street Sundial in the Townhead area of Glasgow. It may seen surprising, but Scotland had amongst the highest number of sundials in the 17th and 18th centuries. This includes obelisk sundials which were unique to Scotland. Like this newer one, many had multiple gnomons, the official name for the bit which casts the shadow onto the dial.

Barrington Court's multi-gnomon sundial. No idea how one is supposed to read it (photo on a cloudy day).

Currently reading: #Gnomon by #NickHarkaway and #DeepSecret by #DianaWynneJones. Tentatively looking to tackle #HouseOfLeaves by #MarkZDanielewski next.

What’s everyone else #reading? And what’s next on the horizon??
