A Conversation for Sundials

Just outside the national maritime museum in Greenwich, London (by the park), there is a lovely sundial. The timepiece consists of a sculpture of two dolphins whose tails almost come together. The time is cast on a plate where the shadows of the tails almost meet. To correct for british summertime they just change the baseplate 
It's a top piece of functional sculpture so do check it out if you're in the area.
