I was at Jazz Summer school recently in Trinity College -which is in Greenwich, by the river.

On the Sunday night before the course started we were taken on a river cruise which started in the light, but on the way back through the City,Canary Wharf etc. it was getting dark and the lights were coming on ...I was really suprised how beautiful it is from the river!

Absolutely gorgeous! I really need to save up some money and go there. Hopefully, the exchange rate will a little better by then.

Cool stuff. The one of the old Eurostar terminal is excellent.

Looks like now might be a good time to start thinking about that visit, Fred. Sterling has really taken a nosedive in the last few weeks owing to some disastrous financial decisions over on this side of the pond.

The shot of the Demolition site and the Train Station are cool (as are all the others). Try that without a "Gyro Stabilized Digital Camera" in a chopper at night and it is blurry city.

I love the big picture!

Glad to see there are other big picture-ites on talkbass.

P.S. Best part of that website- press "J" to go to the next picture and "K" to go to the previous picture. Its a heck of a lot easier than scrolling.
