Park life


Park life, originally uploaded by dimacleod.

I noticed on google maps that the artillery garden was nearby. Sadly this nokia doesn't seem to be built for prolonged net usage, so a quick search and root around outside bagged me this park. It probably isn't the One as i couldn't see any weaponry (excepting the ninja cyclists). A park steeped in history indeed. And maybe this is a photo of that park. Or just some random park in EC1.

All the fault of AktoMan who done it at 1:52:00 pm

Looks like Armoury House in the background, so I guess you're in the right place

Just checked on Google Maps, and yes, it was the Artillery Garden - down the dead end of Finsbury St, off Chiswell St (maplink)

Thanks for the link, Ken. I didn't know about the first balloon flight in England. Nor that they'd moved there in 1641 from Spittalfields. Lucky they did, else I'd not have seen the place. (hyperlink)

It's a small world, really.

I noticed that a lot of cyclists were very quiet. Fit people and well-maintained bikes. Tied in with some people cycling the wrong way on one-way streets made for a quick learning experience for me.
