One "set in stone" and one "sat on stone"

The cemetery in Stoke Newington. They turned it into a wildlife refuge, hence the overgrown appearance. Sure cheaper than maintaining the place!

The Diana Memorial, Hyde Park, London. Since a couple people slipped and fell on the slick marble, there is as strickly enforced no-wading policy.

Freelunch, the overgrown appearance sure makes the cemetary dramatic. I bet that place is down right spooky at night.
So with your second photo, do the people get ticketed if they are wading in the creek?

... do the people get ticketed if they are wading in the creek?

No. They just get chased out. There were 3 or 4 wardens whose sole job was to keep people out of the "fountain". It's okay to stick your feet in as long as you sit on the side. Behind the old couple, you can see that the water running over the sloping granite could make things pretty slick after any algae build up. There were a couple injuries last year, hence the new rules.

Hey there Big Bully, unfortunately I never got around to taking an image of the other half of the sundial. It was starting to rain that day, so I had to take my shot and make a run for my car. However, the sundial itself is a memorial to Air India Flight 182 which was bombed in 1985, and the face of it is inscribed with the famous phrase, "Time flies, suns rise, shadows fall, let it pass by, love reigns over all."

It's the modern world. Personal responsibility vs. a get-rich-quick lawsuit.

Stoke Newington Church Street, Abney Park Cemetery and Clissold Park are worth a trip.
