Did you get a chance to go inside St.Paul's? We didn't get to do a full tour because of services in progress, but what I saw of it was absolutely awe-inspiring.

very nice shots. I've only been to london 3 times but enjoyed it all three times.

Right, Steve. I was thinking the same. GMT has nothing to do with hemisphères.

Still, the digital sign on the observatory has GMT on it ... and I was straddling the prime meridian, which is zero longitude. Right foot was in East longitude and left foot was in West longitude, so I was in both the east & west hemispheres of the Earth.

UM, that was the longitude.

I was gonna say.........





However, one of my goals is to stand in that same spot and visit the Royal Observatory.

Been there, done that, very cool! I think that trip was pre-digital but I have stacks of prints. Might browse through to see if I can offer evidence, but OTOH that will just make me pine for another trip, which is quite out of the question now. . .

Many thanks as well. As a seafarer I got a real thrill standing on the prime meridian. Wonderful to see your photo and recall that feeling. All the best, John
