Greenwich Illustrated

So this is what you find at DLR station 'Cutty Sark for Maritime Greenwich'...



Then I stumbled on to the Old Royal Naval College. This church was designed by Christopher Wren.



Colonade.



Perfect baroque symmetry.



Venetian pastoral or picturesque of the Enlightenment? Probably the latter. This is England, after all.



Ominous dark clouds rolled in over the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich Park. But I still decided to climb the 'mountain' to the Observatory.



I took this photo of the classical-inspired museum with the super-modern Canary Wharf development in the background right before the rain started. Everyone pulled out their umbrellas. Mine was safe and dry at home.
