Savournon
A nicely designed sundial dating from 2000. The vertical lines make it interesting. The sheep is the landmark of Savournon. They used to breed a famous sheep here. The location of the dial is not very interesting. It is on a non-descript building.
It is a vertical sundial, with hourlines from 5 to 4 o’clock. Half hour lines are notes as dots. The dial shows True Solar Time. The dial is declining to the east (I did not measure the angle yet).
The sundial can be found in the village of Savournon, in the southwest of the Hautes-Alpes in France. Coming from the route National (Serres or Laragne), the dial is after one enters the village on the Mairie on your left. This is before the crossing to Veynes and ?.
The weather was overcast when I took the picture.
