Sundials, both old and new, pop up over the world, but Austria seems to be particularly fond of them. They have a Sundial Data Bank and the 2000 figures report 3009 dials in the country, with 182 in Salzburg province, 117 of which are twentieth century creations.
Sundial at Mozarplatz, Salzburg
The Baroque dial above, with a beautiful painted fresco of the Madonna and Jesus, dates back to 1628.
This aqua and yellow dial, is more modern; 2001 to be precise. It may well be a renovation or be inspired by an older version, but it is certainly the work of Roland and Simon Moroder. I wonder if they are the models for the Gemini zodiac image?
On my visit up to the Festung Hohensalzburg, the castle on top of the hill, there was no sun, so no time telling here, but this fresco brightened the courtyard next to St George’s Chapel. It features attractive images for each of the zodiac signs, plus the Salzburg Coat of Arms.

These are gorgeous Debbie 🙂 Salzburg is definitely a must see, as most of Austria. Your response is brilliant. I would like to ask you to see a new sub-page on my blog cause it is about bloggers like you that take part in my challenges. I need to know if you are ok with what is going to be a new method of showcasing your works. I will preserve the links to your participating posts, but will give up on those cute preview images cause of some issues I had. I talked about it long yesterday. Just when you have a minute see this link please https://bopaula.wordpress.com/scheduled-challenges/guest-challenges/ and let me know if that is ok with you.
