EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless beauty of the Sundial at Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles. Bathed in warm sunlight, this magnificent metal structure stands proudly against a backdrop of clear blue skies and lush greenery. As the sun's rays cast intricate shadows upon its dial, it serves as both a functional timepiece and an awe-inspiring work of art. Located within Griffith Park, this astronomical marvel not only tells time but also educates visitors about celestial movements and the wonders of our universe. The gnomon, positioned perfectly to align with Earth's axis, acts as a pointer that casts a shadow onto the dial to indicate the hour. The observatory itself is an iconic landmark in California, serving as a hub for scientific exploration and public education. Its grand architecture harmoniously blends with nature while offering breathtaking views of Los Angeles' sprawling cityscape. Mark Williamson skillfully captures this momentous scene, showcasing his talent for capturing natural light and architectural details. This print is more than just an image; it encapsulates the essence of curiosity and wonder that drives humanity's quest for knowledge about timekeeping and our place in space. Whether you're an astronomy enthusiast or simply appreciate stunning photography, this print will transport you to a world where science meets art under sunny Californian skies.
