The motto (partly obscured) on this sundial in our public gardens is "Be as true to each other as this dial is to the sun."
I believe it is showing the correct time. Photo is timed at 3.37 pm. Take off an hour for daylight saving time and then another half hour makes the time approx 2.07pm which looks pretty accurate. The reason for the extra half hour is because during the Southern Hemisphere's summer from early November to mid-February, a sundial loses about half an hour relative to a clock.
I took this today. I may enter it in the Shadows contest although I went looking for late afternoon tree shadows :)

Give me a Rolex any day :) Nice capture of the sundial and shadow. It will make a fine entry in the contest Lyn.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
I like this one for the contest, it is subject matter that is different from most of what we will see in the contest, and fits it perfectly. I have never actually seen a sundial, except in pictures.

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
Lyn - Sometimes what we find is not what we were searching for - in life as in photography. You found a gem here.

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine The Earth without art is just 'eh'.
This is probably the only entry for the contest where the shadow is functional. What could me more appropriate? Outstanding capture, Lyn.

Lyn, I would reply: Omnia mutantur, nos et mutamur in illis. (All things are changed, and we are changed with them). lol.
Very apt capture for the 'Shadows' contest.
If this will be your entry: Good Luck with it.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

I think this would make a great entry Lyn. What better than one of the oldest time tellers known to man than the sundial shadow. Great shot.

If you stare at an orange juice container because it says, "CONCENTRATE"...you might be a redneck.
A unique find and wonderful capture! This would make an excellent entry!

Congratulations, Lyn. This one is shadows on so many levels. After all, not just a shadow, but time itself; the creator.

Emptiness is not nothingness. It is simply the opposite of full of it.
Congrats on placing 4th in the contest Lyn. Very artistic.
