Title
Chapelle St. Barbe, Les Claux
DescriptionThis dial can be found on the church in Les Claux next to the road. Les Claux is a part of the Pelvoux commune in the Vallouise valley in the Hautes-Alpes, France. The dial shows hour an half-hour lines from 7 to 5 o'clock. The motto of the dial reads "la derniere decide tout', i.e. "the last [hour] decides all". The dial is in the Louis XV style. Note that the design of the dial is assymetric. It gives me an amateur feeling of the creator, it could have been more symmetric. But the speed required to create a drawing might also be the cause. The dial has been renovated by Atelier Tournesol in 1991. Visitable?publicLinksSundial SightingsRecent contributorsaleene[Delete entry] |
