Daily Photo: 19/04/2011 – John Humphries House

April 19, 2011 By Rob Powell

The deep blue sky on this sunny day almost matched the blue panels at the front of John Humphries House in Stockwell Street.

The 60s office building will soon be demolished to make way for the University of Greenwich’s purpose built School of Architecture and Construction.

Did you take a photo in Greenwich during today’s scorching weather? All contributions welcome – rob@greenwich.co.uk

Daily Photo: 12/04/2011 – Geyser at Peninsula Square

April 12, 2011 By Rob Powell

Thanks to Warren King for this rather fabulous photo of a geyser near the entrance to the O2.

According to the designers, the “narrative” is that  “perhaps these geysers existed even before the Dome was built, and therefore the grilles were a mechanical attempt to restrain them.”

Daily Photo: 06/04/2011 – Google’s Prime Meridian

April 6, 2011 By Rob Powell

Today’s Daily Photo is a screenshot taken from Google Earth – the desktop application that offers you ”the world’s geographical information at your fingertips”.

As everyone knows, the Prime Meridian goes right through the Royal Observatory in Greenwich Park and some people actually pay £10 to go and stand by it. Next door to the Observatory, the Meridian is also marked by a line which goes through one of the tennis courts.

But Greenwich.co.uk reader Alwyne has spotted that the Prime Meridian as shown on Google Earth is some way out – over 100m, he reckons.

Alwyne is correct in his estimate – it’s actually 102.5 metres east of Prime Meridian. The reason for this, apparently, is that that is where the World Geodetic System 1984 which is used by GPS satellites records the WGS84 meridian as being. For a better explanation than I could possibly muster of why this is, read on here.
