The Ravensbourne flowing into the Thames
To quote Strange Maps:
the River Ravensbourne rises at Caesar’s Well in Keston, flows through Bromley, Lewisham and Greenwich and is joined by several tributaries, among which the beautifully named River Quaggy (also known as Kyd Brook). It ends in the Thames in Greenwich Reach (also known as Deptford Creek), west of Greenwich proper. In 1580, Queen Elizabeth I knighted Francis Drake on board the Golden Hind in Deptford Creek after his circumnavigation of the globe.
This means that when the college moves to Greenwich next year, we will be moving directly downstream.

The First Post – Online Daily Magazine – is presenting an online animation festival.
It features ads, virals, animé, more ads, comics and graphic novels, and, er, more ads.
The site doesn’t make it obvious who chose the works on view, I looked hard to find an information page but none was visible. So feast your eyes and fill your boots! Link….

A Happy New Year to you all!
This splendidly saturated picture was produced using a very early colour photography technique, called Autochrome.
It was invented by the Lumiere brothers, who were also known for their pioneering work in cinema.

This time, you have a little more context to frame it with. Any ideas where this building might be?
Now where in the world could this picture have been taken?
