CHARTRES CATHEDRAL SUNDIAL


I have always been fascinated by sundials and this magnificent "time piece" was photographed on the south side of the southern tower of Chartres Cathedral.

Unfortunately, due to it being a cloudy day, I was not able to read the time.  

Although the sundial bears the date 1528, this is in fact a 20th century replica.  The original sculpture is kept in the crypt of the cathedral.
