time-eye's
position on the roof - according to the Golden Mean |
 |
 |
|
with
the compas
looking for the exact direction to the east |
 |
 |
the
roofs are special designed and
white painted |
|
direction
to the east
towards
the sky
|
 |
 |
to collect the precious rainwater |
|
the
exact position
has
been found

 |
 |
there are no springs or rivers on Bermuda |

there are many churches on the small island |

sunpendulum- time-eye's
computer-system in the secret EDV-room of the BUEI downstairs |

 |
because car rentals are not allowed, tourists might decide to get around by moped or scooter |
 |
 |
the Bermudian speed limit with 20 mph sounds really cosy; but it is too slow for most of the local car- and moped-drivers |
 |
 |
although
the roads are often rough-surface, narrow and winding;
so it´s really an adventure to ride a scooter on the left-hand side |
 |
 |
therefore it´s useful to be marked as tourists with the special helmets, which help more against a sun stroke than something else |
