The Snowdial
Here's a photo of snow melting in my front garden this afternoon. It occurs to me that, even without other clues such as the British number plate on my car, you could at least work out from this whether I was in the Northern or Southern Hemisphere. Can you see how?

Yes indeed - well done, Rick!
The sun in the northern hemisphere moves left-to-right, so the tree shadows in my picture move right-to-left. You can see the snow-covered areas which were recently in shadow, but haven't melted yet.
