“This unique sundial designed specifically for Taggs Island consists of 13 fins, a hemisphere and rings which represent the Tropics of Capricorn and Cancer and the two polar circles. This dial has been made for the exact latitude and longitude of Taggs Island.
To read Greenwich Mean Time one must find the two opposing hour fins both bathed in sunlight. The shadow cast by these fins is shown on a band engraved at 30 minute intervals and as such at half past the hour the shadow will be to the left hand side of the fin. When there is no shadow cast by a particular fin the time is on the hour.

I believe it was installed to mark the beginning of a new Millenium.

Blue hour last summer from Millenium Bridge, London. One of my favourite places in London to take photos.
I love the song 'Five Bridges Cross The Tyne' by The Nice. Now they've spoilt it by building a sixth. It is lovely though!
With the incredible weather we got in the UK since a few days, conditions were perfect for blue hour and sunset photography.
Here, under cloudless skies, St Paul Cathedral in the background.
So I managed to throw this together this week during a very luxurious Thanksgiving break.
The main factor for this was I wanted to keep it at the same size as my previous Serentiy firefly and Jupiter II models, which made getting a round, flat, yet detailed shape very interesting.
The cockpit is held on by a minifig hand and a mutilated piece of flex tube (more pictures to follow soonish). Gallery when public.
I'm hoping to add the ebon hawk, Ig2000, and rogue shadow(already built but pictures will have to wait a couple weeks) to my growing collection of ships, but after that I'm out of ship ideas. Any suggestions after those?
So chasing a sunset yesterday made me realise I took some shots for last year's October Photo A Day (one photo per day) which I then betterred for that day! So here they are belatedly - October is a great month for the light vs weather combo in the UK and plenty of scope too, am looking forward to it again this year. This is the abandoned Millenium Mills near the Excel Centre in London Docklands - with what was then my new 70d. It's derelict and has been for a while, some others have taken some great shots of the inside so worth checking them out on Flickr.
to St Paul's Cathedral. Designed by Norman Foster (the Bridge that is - St Paul's is by the great Sir Christopher Wren).
After a few days of frigid temps and being locked indoors, it warmed upped a little this evening to go out in the windy snow-storm.
Usually this time of night the rink is packed, but given the extreme wind, cold and snow, the facility shut down early.
The millenium bridge over the Thames with it's vanishing point leading into the famous dome of St Pauls Cathedral, long exposure to banish all the people using the bridge, unless you visit at anti social hours it's hard to find the bridge without people all over the place.
