Hidden Sundials


I was searching in Vancouver for a car rental dealership and bumped into this massive sundial on top of a mall near Chinatown. It’s the International Village Mall off of Pender Street. In looking at the Google maps for the area I turned on the satellite view and discovered a huge sundial on top of the mall. I consider myself pretty well informed about my own hometown but I had no idea this clock existed. As you can see, it looks like the satellite tool this photo at about 9am. The massive residential tower to the south-east of the clock actually acts as the sundial. Very cool, especially when you consider that nobody knows about this?
