Title: The Sun Keeps Time
Exact creative prompt: Design a warm Mediterranean sundial experience in a single offline responsive HTML. Put a large classic serif headline and time slider on creamy sand beside a tiled courtyard containing a dimensional circular stone sundial. Use inline SVG Roman numerals, a raised triangular gnomon, and a translucent shadow that rotates and lengthens with the hour slider. Add a readable time display and label the geometry illustrative. Evoke patient afternoon light.
Description: An architectural still life turns sunlight and shadow into an interactive meditation on slow time.
Major visual techniques: Stone gradients; courtyard grid; SVG Roman dial; cast shadows; warm earth tones; two-panel editorial layout.
Interaction model: Move through daylight hours to rotate and stretch the sundial shadow and update the displayed time.
