Les Crayons
The design of this horizontal sundial is very original. The dial has been created from gigantic pencils. There are pencils lying on the ground that indicate the hourlines. These pencils point to the hour marks, which are created as pencils driven into the ground. And finally the the gnomon has been implemented as three pencils with one parallel to the earth axis.
