The Sundial at Tower Hill, the large sundial casts a rain soaked shadow across a ring carved with the history of London. The moments in the timeline date back to Roman times. The shadow is also a reflection on the wet cement and asphalt. The sky is filled with clouds. A lone passerby leavers the scene, with an umbrella hoisted over one shoulder on a rainy day in London.
