Rosans - Mairie
A vertical sundial created of two squares, one rotated by 45 degrees. The dial is surrounded by 10 signs from the zodiac, intermingled with decorated figures. Two signs, acquarius and pisces, can be found in the center of dial. The reason is not known to me. The motto of the dial is Plus est en toi, i.e. more is in you. On the dial is also a mark, which is presumably the creator.
The dial shows Local Apparent Time. The dial shows hourlines from 6 am to 5.30 pm and also the half hourlines. And has a M (Midi?) for 12 o’clock. Judging from the hourlines the dialface is a bit oriented to the east.
The dial can be found in Rosans in the eastern parts of the Hautes-Alpes, France. The dial is situated aboved the entrance door of the mairie in the old village. To ge there just follow the signs.
I took the pictures on 14 july 2004.
