Late comment: Very nice set. I especially like the red headed lad - looks like 
he's just realized that "there's no way out". One way or t'other he's getting 
wet feet.

Cheers,

Always amazed at what a phone camera can produce with the right person
taking the image. I like these a lot.

For the first time, I now have a phone with a camera. I've yet to take a
picture with it, because I feel more self conscious about using it than I
would a DSLR. I must be missing out, as I don't always go out with a camera,
but I do a phone, so it is worth overcoming this.

Re: High tide

[Bob W-PDML]

We fairly regularly get higher tides than that, and historically it has been 
several feet higher on a couple of occasions. As you can see from the right 
hand side, there are steps, and the large railings are embedded in a raised 
wall, which is defence-in-depth (so to speak) for the Royal Naval College. That 
was built in 1690-something, so they've been expecting occasional high tides 
for a long time.

It may be that we get them a little more often at the level shown in these 
pictures. If so I'd speculate that it's a result of urbanisation and narrowing 
of the river upstream in Central London, as well as more river walls. My house 
is built on what used to be a Greenwich Marsh, so the water had more places to 
flood than it does now.

In this Victorian map the Naval College is in the lower left - the pictures 
were taken just by the leftmost crease. My house is on a street that didn't 
exist then (built 1896), on the site in the top right corner roughly parallel 
where the horizontal crease is. The riverside there would have been mainly 
beach and mud at that time, and everything east was marshland which would have 
flooded.

http://www.ideal-homes.org.uk/__data/assets/image/0017/301490/map-east-greenwich-01279-640.jpg

The telegraph cable works just north of the crease built and laid the first 
transatlantic cable. It's only recently closed. It's the site of a former 
whaling station and gets a mention in Moby Dick.

It used to look like this:

RE: High Tide

[Bob W]

 
  We had an unusually high tide on the Thames today. I took 
 some photos
  with my mobile phone:
 
  http://www.web-options.com/Tide/
 
 Was it not high enough to justify raising the barrier?
 
 - Dave

I guess not. I don't know what their criteria are for raising it for
real, rather than just a test. This tide was high, but not dangerously
so. The pictures were taken in the 10-15 minutes around the high tide,
according to the tide tables, so it wasn't going to get any higher. 

I have often seen it washing over the riverside path - that's not
particularly unusual, and at its deepest it will lap around your
ankles. Yesterday though it was knee deep at its deepest - the highest
I've seen it in the 13 years I've lived in this area. That's quite a
volume of water.

 From the documentaries I have seen,I gather the risk comes when these 
high tides coincide with a storm surge from the north sea. I live in 
Peacehaven, a few miles due south (literally) from Greenwich, driving 
through Newhaven I too noticed it was a really high tide, but sadly my 
320x240 camera phone is not worth taking pictures with.

Nice shots btw...

Drew.

Must be global warming.

BTW, I recently came across a reference that claimed the rise in sea level from 
the ice age was in the order of 300-400 feet.

RE: High Tide

[Bob W]

There have been much higher tides. One of the sea walls near my house
records several floods in the last century which would have been up to
my shoulders. This all used to be marshland.

I looked up the sea-level changes in a book that was to hand - Out of
Eden, by Stephen Oppenheimer. I quote measurements made on the
Greenland ice cap show that the second coldest time of the last
100,000 years was between 60,000 and 80,000 years ago. At its coldest,
70,000 years ago, this glaciation took the world's sea levels 80
metres (260 feet) below today's levels. 

During that time Europe has been joined to and separated from Britain
several times by the rising and falling waters of the North Sea. It is
their present misfortune to live in an interglacial.

Thanks. It's only 2 megapixels. 

The obelisk is a memorial to the French explorer Bellot, who tried to
