Hi All 👋 My entry for the Photographing Public Art Challenge, hosted by Natalie the Explorer.
This piece of public art can be found in the coastal town of Kirkcaldy, on the northern shores of the Firth of Forth. It is a working sundial in the shape of an octopus.
You stand on the particular month on the octopus’s head (we were there in December)…
…& read off the time on the tentacles; it’s pretty accurateThe last shot is courtesy of my wife, Susan.

How cool this is, thanks for sharing
Thanks, Alice
Jez, Thank you for your PPAC contribution. What a beautiful and practical sundial. I noticed that the months are counter clockwise. One of the buildings on University of Toronto St. George campus is named Sir Sanford Fleming.
Wow, small world
Amazing sundial!
Thanks, Anne
I have never heard of this! Fascinating.
If ever you’re visiting, it’s at the eastern end of the promenade, in front of the newish flats
You were about half past seven and Susan almost 10 o’clock. A lovely concept 🙂
Wow!
An amazing way to tell the time 🙂
I was amzed at how accurate it was
How creative!
