This image shows a sundial mounted on a brick wall in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. The sundial is made of white stone and features Roman numerals representing hours. A gnomon, the part of the sundial that casts the shadow, is visible. The surrounding brick wall has a rustic appearance with a mix of red and grey bricks, some of which are roughly cut. There is text inscribed on the sundial, indicating it is a sundial. The text, in Cyrillic script, appears to include measurements of latitude and longitude, as well as an altitude. Specific inscriptions include "ШИРИНА" (width), "ДЪЛЖИНА Е. ПАРИЖЪ" (longitude of Paris), "ДЪЛЖИНА W. ЦАРИГРАДЬ" (longitude of Constantinople), "ВИСОЧИНА" (height), and numerical values possibly related to these measurements. A date, "1837", is also visible. Adjacent to the sundial, on the wall, are two electrical boxes with wiring. The lighting suggests it is daytime, likely under clear or partly cloudy skies, as the sundial is well-lit and shadows are cast. The overall scene depicts an architectural feature likely in an outdoor historical or public space, given the inscription details and the surrounding stonework. The sundial's Roman numerals range from at least V to XII, suggesting it is designed to tell time during daylight hours.
