Greenwich

One Sunday afternoon, my friend Nate and I went to Greenwich, the home of The Prime Meridian of the World. The area was very green and quaint with people--families and children, people with their dogs, couples, friends--playing and strolling along through the parks and wandering through the museums. There was even a drummer playing a drum with his hands, providing a little rhythm for the afternoon. It was very lovely. Here are a few pictures.

View from the hill on which the Prime Meridian is marked. Overlooking Greenwich Park, the National Maritime Museum, and Queen's House Museum--the buildings closest to the green, as well as the Canary Wharf area, the southeast corner of London, and the Millenium Dome.
