03/04/2007 (Day 124) - Astride The World

03/04/2007 (Day 124) - Astride The World by Kaptain Kobold.
Standing astride the Greenwich meridian at the Royal Observatory, the line that marks zero degrees of longitude. My right foot is in the Eastern Hemisphere, and my left in the Western; possibly a first for the 365 Days project :-)

Physically the lines is about ten yards long, plus anotehr ten yards or so inside the observatory building. Actually it goes right around the world :-)

Hi,

Your photo is great!

I'm an admin for a group called Eye Catcher for Visualizations in Powerpoint Presentations. We collect photos which can be used for visualization of abstract or emotional terms like growth, power, cooperation, coaching, commitment, strategy, communication, networking, question, tension, happiness, dynamic, trust...
The goal of our group is to bring more life and creativity into good business presentations - with legal use of copyrights.

We'd love to have your photo added to the group - even better, if you join the group and add other appropriate photos.

Please add some terms to the photo description and tags which you think can be visualized with your photo, and add some copyright notice, preferably referring to the recommendation of the group.

Best regards,

Michael
