Chasing the Shadow

I walked down the stone garden path after playing video games all morning, stepping into the bright grass of the park. Right in the middle stood a weathered stone sundial on an octagonal pedestal. I pulled myself up onto the base to inspect the angled brass gnomon. The sun cast a razor-sharp shadow cutting directly across the engraved Roman numerals. I checked my own vintage wristband, holding my arm flat against the warm stone to compare the marks. The ancient mechanical alignment was dead accurate with my watch. Watching natural light keep time with such honest precision felt totally amazing! #sonnenuhr
