I took this shot 2 or 3 weeks ago. Nothing extraordinary, but I think it has a nice atmosphere: http://www.web-options.com/sundaypapers.jpg It features the view of Greenwich from Island Gardens on the Isle of Dogs. Canaletto and Turner, among others, painted this view. The round building on the hill in the background is the old Royal Observatory, where the prime meridian is. Sticking up between the trees on the brow of the hill Canadians (but perhaps not Frank) will be pleased to learn is a statue of General Wolfe of Quebec. The lamppost ruining the view in the foreground is by Tower Hamlets Council. Philistines. -- Regards, Bob ====== Too bad the sky is so drab. As it loaded in my browser top to bottom, I thought, oh boring, buildings. Then it unfolded enough to show the old couple on the bench and I thought neat. Then it unfolded to show the young couple on the grass and I thought less neat. I suppose you have the contrast between old fashioned seating up straight old couple and sprawled out young couple. Me, I'd crop the young couple off. Perverse, aren't I? To me the building and the old couple look like a painting, all by themselves. With the young couple, well, it isn't. Probably everyone else will love the contrast, so take with a grain of salt. Marnie aka Doe :-) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
