Sundials in Vancouver (BC)

[Tony Moss]

Fellow shadow watchers,
   I mentioned the recent correspondence on sundials 
in Vancouver BC to my expat' friends who live there and received this 
response.

Mike, English bay does sound familier. However it is about a half mile
southwest of the bridge or ismus that goes to Stanley park. It is on the
beach. The dial is probably about a mile northeast of the touristy
Island (little ferry boat, resturants, gift shops,and all) .

Clem, I presume you are talking about Vancouver, B.C.   I was there
several summers ago and "found" a sundial quite by accident on the
beach. Its been awhile I am going from memory. I haven't seen this dial
in the NASS directory so maybe you can get a good description if you
find it. It is on the Boardwalk on the main bay on the west side of the
city. I forget what the bay is called but It is where they have the
fireworks contest in the summer.  The dial is cylindrical equatorial
dial made of bronze with a compensating gnomon. If I had a map of
Vancouver I could probably locate it within a half mile. Maybe someone
else has noticed this dial and can give you some more info.
If you are talking about Vancouver, WA I can't help you.
