A prime location

Took some happy snaps around ROG...

Tourists didn't seem interested in the transit telescope behind the wall.... they all queued up in front of a contemporary sculpture out front...:rolleyes:

Never been to Greenwich but the meridian goes through a small village called Ibos about 10km where I was born in the Pyrenees. When I was a little kid my grand father told my cousins and myself briefly about the meridian coming all the way from Greenwich in the UK and asked us to look for it. We spend the better part of the afternoon running in the near by fields looking for it. That quickly became his favourite subject of discussion at dinners around the table, Xmas, Easter, Birthdays until well in my teens. You get the picture. :P

It's a good day out. Lots of history.
