FIVE PICTURE FRIDAY! - Greenwich

Taken November 7, 2024

In deep southeast London, Greenwich houses a unique array of historical, naval, natural, and scientific landmarks. Of course it’s the home of the Greenwich Meridian and Greenwich Mean Time, but also the area was the birthplace of Henry the VIII and Elizabeth I, and stomping grounds of the Tudor dynasty. Today, England’s maritime history is on full display, with the former Royal Naval College and the Cutty Sark museum highlighting past glories, stimulating your imagination as to how this island nation became a global oceanic superpower.

About “Five Picture Friday”

Every other Friday, I produce a short photo-essay on an interesting location. I try to capture the essence of the place, distilled down into a few images. It’s a fun way to practice my photography, and I hope you enjoy a little armchair travel!

For those desperate for some wall decor or simply infatuated with one of my photos, prints are now available for a nominal fee - basically ‘at cost’. Send me an email with your request, and I’ll make it happen.
