Here, Today
By Pam Berkeley

The images in this puzzle appear to be both a 3D clock and a compass. The hands of the clock tell the time by the sun's position in the sky over the course of a day (the flavortext alludes to the altitude and azimuth of the sun, as well as time), and the cardinal directions indicate the orientation of the clock. The title (Here, Today) indicates that the time is to be determined for Berkeley on the day of the hunt (July 12, 2014). The information required to determine the hour from the provided angles for the altitude and azimuth can be obtained from various websites, including here (entering the latitude and longitude of Berkeley and then clicking on "Calculation Details" at the bottom of the page will give you a spreadsheet of sun positions over the course of the day). The following columns indicate the angles, in degrees, for the altitude and azimuth and the corresponding hour that can be read from the clock. Converting the 24 hour clock hours to letters (using A=1, etc.) yields the answer TEMPUS FUGIT (which is frequently inscribed in sundials).
