The Quitsato Sundial is exactly positioned on the equator line near the town of Cayambe in Ecuador. The equator is the narrow dark line that runs through the base of the cylinder. The northern hemisphere is at the left, the southern one at the right side of the line (see image annotations). A student is seen giving explanations to a tourist.

The equator line near the town of Cayambe was drawn by members of the Ecuadorian army after several months of replicated measurements. I checked it - positively - with my personal GPS receiver :-)

There are a number of other equator lines drawn in Ecuador - such as here and here - which, however, are known to be misplaced for several hundreds of meters at least (also checked by myself).

• Mild  Oppose - Definitely a good VI/QI, but not a compelling view or composition for FP, in my opinion. Maybe if the sky were more interesting, that might be enough for me to support, though I'd have to see it and decide. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:00, 30 November 2016 (UTC)
•  Oppose per Ikan. Daniel Case (talk) 06:34, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
•  Support nice and interesting. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 07:07, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
•  Support -- Golden Bosnian Lily (talk) 09:19, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
•  Oppose For sure good and educational but it lacks that little extra for a FP. Some sort of combo of these (1 & 2) would wow me more. --cart-Talk 10:15, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

•  Oppose Nothing special, good quality but no wow. --Karelj (talk) 21:41, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
