This is the first in a series of images taken inside the moth-balled colossus that is Spillers Mill in Newcastle in April 2008. I wish I had more time to explore the facility further but my entry was closely regulated; I was working as assistant for another photographer for the day and he was only allowed in as he knew one of the security detail.
The name is referring to the position of the sunlight on the floor and how it could be used to measure time. It's the first concept that came to mind upon submission of this piece; the image itself is part of a larger series that explored abandoned industry, entitled Forlætan.
Edited for crop, and re-submitted as a place-holder before the rest of the series is uploaded.

Oh, I can relate to this question. There are numerous raw images slumbering somewhere on my hard disk, every now and then I browse through the older folders of my archive and use to find some hidden gems there. Sometimes even images that I tried to edit before, without a decent result, but suddenly they work for me. It's a sort of productive procrastination.
