Greenwich meridian monument shadow
Image: © steve ridley Taken: 27 Feb 2011
This picture was taken standing on the Bradley Greenwich meridian looking North. The meridian passes straight through the middle, see this http://www.riddlerworld.co.uk/meridian/PG0080.htm for an alternate image with the meridian superimposed as a green line. This picture was taken with my back to the Meridian monument at solar midday, (adjusted for the equation of time), so the shadow of the monument lies directly along the meridian line.
