Being as this is England, there are plenty of times when this particular timepiece doesn't function. Its not much good in cloudy or wet weather.
But at the moment we are enjoying wonderful summer, plenty of sunshine - and the contemporary pavement sundial is working and even seems to tell roughly the right time.

I am so glad someone (you) did the Sundial aspect. Great contrasts in the photo.
ReplyDeleteA sundial! Excellent choice.
ReplyDeletemost excellent!!
ReplyDeletewhat a clever sundial!!
I was just asking f last night where our old sundial is, haven't seen it since the last move...how I hope we didn't leave it at the last place!
Elegant in it's simplicity.
ReplyDeleteThe picture is just wonderful and creative lol
ReplyDeleteHave a great day
xoxo
Its True About England+The Sun! Up here in the North today it's overcast.I wish someone would invent a Cloudial!
ReplyDeletewhat a great sundial! I love it.
ReplyDeleteGlad to know there's sun across the Channel also. Enjoy, Letty.
Oh that is cool, that is actually the first sun dial I've seen.
ReplyDeleteThis is excellent. I'm inspired now.
ReplyDeleteOff to look for a phone pole...
That's so cool! It looks like it was impromptu.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Kind of Zen, kind of funny.
ReplyDeleteFootprints in the sands of time.
Excellent!
ReplyDeletevery cool find. wonder who did it? was it in jest? nice play.
ReplyDeleteVery soothing photo. Unexpected, too. How very interesting to combine the two.
ReplyDeleteWow! So cool! I love that idea! :)
ReplyDeleteAt least it doesn't need batteries!
ReplyDeleteThat's great! Now I want to go and paint numbers on the pavement near our light pole!
ReplyDeleteI don't know why this cheered me up so much, but it did so I'm not going to argue!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lettuce!
Love this! It wouldn't be working in NJ lately. We've had a lot of cloudy and cool weather. Hoping for some sun this weekend!
ReplyDeletethanks everyone.
ReplyDeletePoetikat it seems to be pretty weatherproof, so far (despite the quantity of rain)
A cloud dial Tony, thats a provocative idea...
As for English weather, I think thats our summer over now
Baino - do it! go on! :-}
and you'd surely get more use of it down there
Megan, glad if this cheered you up
And Lynne - see comment to Tony above - this timepiece wouldn't have been much use for the last few days
This was a great picture of a sundial type I have never seen. In Southern California we would have enough sun for one, but I am not sure if I ever see any of them here.
ReplyDeleteAlso I was just wondering if in the upper left corner of the picture that is your shadow or the shadow of someone else. I am not sure how the shadow can be there in that spot since the shadow from the sundial is coming from a different direction. Really strange how it could be there.
God bless.
Great photo...please send us some of your sun.
ReplyDeleteMy brain was a bit clouded over or such, it took me a while to figure out that it was a sundial! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI have never seen one with such a modern design, very interesting.
Nice one!
ReplyDeleteChalk? or Paint?
What happens when it rains?
That is rather cool.
ReplyDeleteAwesome!
