Greenwich from Observatory Hill

PY3256

Greenwich from Observatory Hill Long Caption: A fine summer-evening view from Greenwich Hill, with Turnerian quality in the light through the trees in the lower Park from the setting sun to the north-west. Visitors gather beneath the stone pines which formerly stood on the brow. A Greenwich Pensioner sits by a tree to the far left, where the Observatory can just be seen, and another stands beyond with a telescope on a tripod to show visitors the view of Greenwich and distant London for a small charge.
