  2. I love the sun dial but I also like the way that roof is tiled. Very attractive.

  3. Great shot on a clear, sunny day, but then that clock only works on sunny days.

  4. Is that the sun god's time? Sorry, just being silly. Certainly is an interesting piece of art!

  5. The light in this photo is wonderful. Can you imagine having the job of the roofer who has to maintain those tiles?

The Province of Bolzano-Bozen, also referred to as Alto Adige or South Tyrol, (also spelled South Tirol), is an autonomous province in northern Italy. It is one of the two provinces that make up the region of Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol, which is itself an autonomous region. The province has an area of 7,400 square kilometres (2,857 sq mi) and a total population of more than 500,000 inhabitants. Its capital is the city of Bolzano (German: Bozen; Ladin: Balsan or Bulsan). The majority of the population speaks an Austro-Bavarian dialect of German and consider themselves ethnically Tyrolean. About a quarter of the province is Italian-speaking and a small minority speaks Ladin as their mother language. Font: Wikipedia
