About the Sundial
This is just one kind of sundial
This sundial is of a type called an analemmatic sundial. Most sundials have a part called a gnomon that casts a shadow upon a dial, where the time is read where the shadow falls. In this sundial, you are the gnomon! You are most welcome to come catch the time anytime the sun is shining. If you want to make a sundial yourself, you can find many resources to help you in the references I link here.
