Solar Chronicles

"A sundial is a horological device that tells the time of day (referred to as civil time in modern usage) when direct sunlight shines by the apparent position of the Sun in the sky. In the narrowest sense of the word, it consists of a flat plate (the dial) and a gnomon, which casts a shadow onto the dial."

 

Testing out my new 28mm f/1.4E Nikkor. This sundial reads about 14:30. Capture time was 15:46 (adjusted for daylight savings time)
