in spring 2002 the High Technical School of Computer Science of the University of Granada moved to a new complex of buildings
 

the Sunpendulum Time-Eye of Granada, first installed in September 1999,  relocated at the end of may 2002
 

its new location is on top of the east - facing side of the building complex

an impressive view over the city of Granada 
and the 
Sierra Nevada

the position has 
been found
 

 Carlos Ureña Almagro and Hofstetter Kurt talking about  possible ways of installation
 

together with Miguel Lastra measuring  the east - facing side precisely
 

calculating the position of the Time-Eye according to the Golden Mean

mounting the camera

closing the weatherproof case
  the "andalusian electric installations" in public space are still there ...

fine and final adjustments
   
we have even seen  "el toro" again, one of the most impressive
sculptures in the landscape

the Time-Eye of Granada - ready to work again
 
we didn´t see the "Andalusian Dog",
but something
near to it  ...

the previously activated Sunpendulum
      Time-Eye Server connected to the Time-Eye again ... ready to transmit images from the sky via the internet
 
and the snow covered Sierra Nevada -
almost surreal ...
with a full moon.

    with the Time-Eye of Granada in front  - what a thrill ...
