Dear John, Fabio and All. I am involved in sundial preservation for many years and, personally, I am not enthusiastic with the rising interest on sundials as a GPS photo tourist attraction.
Old sundials are precious historical items in serious danger to disappear and, first than anything, should be properly recorded, not only as a holyday shoot with a deficient location (sundials are in places with name). Respect to Sundial Atlas, I can't see it as a definitive connection with sundial thieves while British sundials are already recorded in many supports (thieves always can succeed). What worries me more is the probable unwanted privacy intrusions. On the other hand, I have to admit popularizing sundials is better than ignoring it. Regards from Majorca. Miguel A. G. Arrando
