Sundial 해시계
Caption / Description:

A Sundial (해시계) from 1434, sadly not much use in its current position, in the Gyeongbokgung Station (경복궁역) of the Seoul Metro (서울메트로) subway in Seoul (서울), South Korea (대한민국). The clock was split into 24 sections, based on the 24 solar terms used in the Korean lunisolar calendar.
