Greenwich Meridian from the Ouse Levee

Image: © steve ridley Taken: 25 Mar 2011

This picture was taken standing on the Greenwich meridian looking South. The left half of the image is in the Eastern Hemisphere and the right is in the Western. The meridian passes straight through the middle, see this http://www.riddlerworld.co.uk/meridian/PG1144.htm for an alternate image with the meridian superimposed as a yellow line. The Meridian crosses water meadows between the river Ouse and the railway line. Taken from the levee that stops the Ouse from flooding at high tide.
