GMT + xx ??

For those who are used to PC, I think you should be familiar with term that GMT + 8 for MY and SG time. GMT = Greenwich Mean Time. On last Sunday [ 19 March 2006 ], I went to this place, Royal Observatory, Greenwich, which is located at Longitude 0° 0' 0". This is the place where all time zones are measured.



And this is the Prime Meridian, Longtitude 0' red line. Too bad the digital clock can't show the running time, the clock was start during the year of new milineum, year 2000.


Dun know how to call this thing, it point to our globe where the 0' located.


And the info, read it yourself


On coming Sunday [26 March 2006], London will adjust their time to British Summer Time [BST], which is GMT + 1, means it will be 7 hours delay from here start on that day.

After spending hours in this Royal Observatory, Greenwich. I continue my walk to few other places nearby, like the Queen house, National Maritime Museum, the Greenwich Univerysity and etc. Too bad that some of the place can't take photo [although I did 'curi-curi' for one of the place :p]. Here are some photos:

The Queen's House

The elegant Tulip Stairs of 1635. This is the first centrally unsupported spiral stairway in Britain. And this is the one I 'curi-curi' take photo :p

The Painted Hall in Greenwich University. Amazing painting work, where all wall was painted, included the pillar effect. Please check my photo in later link for more photos.

The roof of a church. The Chappel in the Greenwich Univerysite as well. Again, there are more in my albulm
