I wanted to do something a bit different than a clock photo for this contest, since I'm sure there will be plenty of those. Unfortunately, I couldn't think of a good metaphor for "time" so I instead took the opportunity to photograph the only sundial I know about in Madison. I was happy to find the flowers to one side of the sundial still in decent bloom, which gave a good backdrop to the photo. I tried a number of different angles and focus points so that I would have choices back home when viewing full screen. In the end, this photo is what most matched my vision for the shot.

I really really wish I could clone out those two bright spots :(
