Sun Time and Clock Time, a photo from Menorca, Balearics

Photographer's Note

Equation of Time gives the difference between time shown by a sundial and time shown by a clock. This statement is only correct either if the sundial is on the time meridian (and most are not) or if the hour lines on the dial plate have already been corrected for longitude, which is rare.
Time of shoot 15:30.

Ciao Rui,sundials are always a puzzle, sometimes they are reliable and others not, often those who build them do not know all the rules. Nice very sharp capture, I was in Menorca a few years ago and I missed it. Have a nice weekend and thanks,Luciano

13:15 hours on the dial... but your statement was interesting, Rui.
Wonderful sundial picture, ancient wisdom in simple words.
Bon fim de semana.
Ike
