November 23 visually (photo of sundial)


November 23 date visualized on on-the-ground analemmatic sundial
Cropped portion of Analemmatic sundial at Houston, Texas Park
Read explanation for 
Analemmatic sundials at Wikpaedia
This special kind of clock is installed on a small hill near the Pavilion and Playground at Terry Hershey Park
North of Memorial Drive
Your shadow is the clock hand, but it only works when the sun is out
You have to stand  in the square for the current month to correct for the angle of the sun's trajectory
over the course of the year. Your shadow will point to the number that represents the hour on the dial
