- This vertical declining sundial is form with small squares of tile, showing the hours within a dark grey circle of tiles. The hours are marked by long orange-tile hour lines while the half-hours are marked by two dark grey tiles. A secondary circle of light grey adorns the wall, showing the length of the shadows and making the dial aesthetically pleasing. The background tiles are porcelain in common designer colors. The gnomon is a substantial stainless steel shape formed with a hole and curving points on the downward side, allowing leaves and small branches to slide off.
