Dear John, > I'm asking you guys if you have seen any > relationship between owls and sundials.
I once tried very hard to establish such a relationship but my best intentions were not appreciated... I had a client and I wanted to symbolise sunrise and sunset on the proposed sundial. I offered a really beautiful cock for sunrise and an even more beautiful owl for sunset. The client's comment was brief: too fussy. So there was another good idea that failed to see the light of day :-( Actually there is a College in Cambridge, Hughes Hall, which has a modern down-market sundial and I am pretty sure there is an owl on it. That's because Hughes Hall in Latin is Aula de Hughes and Aula sounds almost like Owl and they have owls all over the place in consequence. OK, I'm just the messenger!
