MsLiz, Stone, sod, sundial. Central Otago, New Zealand. #Stone #cottage at #Poolburn, #sod wall #building at #Oturehua. And when I looked over the #gate by the sod wall.. I found the #sundial. Pics taken 07 December 2023.

Square building with sod walls and corrugated iron roof. Two square windows face the road. Sits atop a grassy slope, a few daisies bloom across the mown portion. Above the mown area a weathered wooden gate spans between the sod building and a post. To the far left at the back are the trunk and branches of a large pine tree. Blue sky, plume of white cloud.
This is what I saw when I looked over the gate. A green sloped lawn with a mossy stone sundial set in a round, shallow depression. Long weed grasses hide the base of the sundial. Beyond the basic wire fence sheep graze in rough pasture beneath a gentle hill slope topped with a low formation of solid rock.
