"Time in a Bottle"

Explored! Thank you very much :-)

This is a sundial in the grounds of Canons Ashby, a National Trust property and garden in Northamptonshire. I believe the sundial dates from the 1700's but I could be wrong :-)

A sundial tells the time of day and I have chosen "Time in a Bottle" by Jim Croce for 'Sight and Sound' :-)

Tragically, on September 20, 1973, Jim Croce and five others died when their chartered plane crashed into a tree during take-off from the Natchitoches Regional Airport in Natchitoches, Louisiana. Jim was only 30 years old.

"But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do"

Beautiful image, Roger. (I don't know if I've ever seen a sundial in person.)

This is such a gorgeous song I never get tired of hearing it but his fate is so heartbreaking.
