Queen's Spiral

Queen's Spiral
Another weekly image from the archive. Click on it to make it larger.

Not too far back this week. I visited Greenwich for the first time in twenty years when I was in London in July and this image is from the Queen's house. Visit if you get the chance. While the 'complex' was busy with many tourists - especially the Royal Observatory and the surrounding park - Queen's house was very quiet. There's almost too many pictures of boats for me but I really enjoyed some of the pictures from Cook's Pacific excursions.

There's no magic to this photo either: I sat on the ground and turned the camera upwards, but it came out quite well. I wanted to take one from the top but it was closed off.

I may be incorrect but I think the scene at the Circumlocution Office in Little Dorrit was filmed here (from last years tv production).
