I think I can answer my own question. While trolling around on the Web, I found an artist's site <http://www.pop.ac/portlligat.html> on which there are photos of his visit to DalÃ's house in Portlligat in 1996. If you click on "Ojo - " The eye " - A dedication to Salvador Dali" <http://www.pop.ac/portlligat013.html> and then click on each image as it appears, you will see multiple photos of the barracks building and the sundial. This building is at the shore, just down the hill from DalÃ's house. Perhaps those with sundial Web pages linking to other sites might link to this previously unknown (to me) "sundial site." =============================================================================== Richard B.
