A sundial is a device that tells the time of day by the apparent position of the Sun in the sky. In the narrowest sense of the word it consists of a flat plate (the dial) and a gnomon which casts a shadow onto the dial. As the sun appears to move across the sky, the shadow aligns with different hour-lines which are marked on the dial to indicate the time of day. The style is the time-telling edge of the gnomon, though a single point or nodus may be used. The gnomon casts a broad shadow; the shadow of the style shows the time. The gnomon may be a rod, a wire or an elaborately decorated metal casting. The style must be parallel to the axis of the Earth's rotation for the sundial to be accurate throughout the year. The style's angle from the horizontal is equal to the sundial's geographical latitude.
In a broader sense a sundial is any device that uses the sun's altitude and/or azimuth to show the time. In addition to their time-telling function, sundials are valued as decorative objects, as literary metaphors and as objects of mathematical study.

For thousands of years, people used sundials to tell the time. The first sundials were used more than 3,500 years ago in Egypt. The sundial showcased in this video was designed by Otto Klotz, an astronomer who worked at the Dominion Observatory. It was made by Pritchard and Andrews, a company from Ottawa, Canada. This sundial was made over 100 years ago for a Member of Parliament, W. Paterson, who lived in Ottawa and later became a Senator. http://www.sciencetech.technomuses.ca/

In time, you will find
Many things found in the ordinary
Could it be, what you see
Many things are extraordinary
Every time when I look at you
Well I seem to find another thing behind the story
Every time when I look at you
Well I seem to find another dream behind the glory
And now it seems no time at all
The sundial wonders
How could you see nothing at all?
The sundial wonders on
Took a walk in the park
Walkin' all around in the after hour
Sometimes beneath the light
To take away all your love and power
Every time when I look into
Well I seem to find another scene behind the story
Every time when she looks at you
Well I seem to find another dream behind the glory
And now it seems no time at all
The sundial wonders
How could you see nothing at all?
The sundial wonders on
And now it seems no time at all
