I wrote the photographer of the mystery dial on flickr.com and she wrote back:
>Thank you for looking at my photo and taking the time to write. I looked at the photo of the sundial and it actually looks to be a mosaic, not painted or stained glass. I don't know if you'd still be interested in using the photo but you are welcome to. It was taken in Brussels, Belgium but I honestly cannot remember what building it's on. It's either a part of the Museum of Musical Instruments or a building nearby. Sorry I know that doesn't help much. I asked her to send me a higher resolution photo so that I can confirm if it's painted or mosaic. It's hard to tell in the photo she posted. I'll let you know if I find out anything. From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Carmichael Sent: Wednesday, October 29, 2008 3:05 PM To: 'Sundial List' Subject: SGS or PWS in Belgium? Hi all: I was researching stained glass sundials and I found this photo on flickr.com http://www.flickr.com/photos/bluebird/407643625/in/set-72157594565203208/ First of all, I'm not sure what country it's in, but the info on the flickr site implies it's in Belgium. There apparently is no email address of the photographer, Sally Penny Henny, so I can't write her to ask about it. Secondly, there are clues in the photo that tell me that it is not a stained glass sundial at all, but rather a painted wall sundial. If you look closely at the photo, the hour numerals are not reversed on the outside of the building photo as is customary with stained glass dials. Also, it looks like the paint has peeled back and fallen off in the lower right side of the dial revealing white plaster underneath. And I do see any lead came. It's a nice dial nevertheless. Have any of you ever seen it and know where it is located? Do you have any better photos of it? Thanks John
