28/12/08: Mini surf on the river! If only gnomes had surfboards, this is where they'd be today. Blustery winds giving constant lapping of waves on the foreshore, just near the Trafalgar Tavern.

26/12/08: Enjoying Boxing Day! The light is just right to pick out a good contrast between the river bed and the murky water today.

25/12/08: Merry Christmas! A brisk walk into Greenwich and I walked down the steps to the water - just somewhere between low and high tide. Water making nice circular lapping patterns as it *just* passes neatly over the stone step.

24/12/08: Christmas Eve... and so so calm down by the river. Almost no movement, just very slight ripples on the water underneath the Lovell's Wharf pier.

23/12/08: Another breezy day showing the movement of water along the surface.

I don't know if this is technically a rock pool, not being the sea. But at Greenwich when the tide is very low the furthest shoreline surface is actually solid rock and concrete. It looks like mucky mud, I've always hestitated to walk out to it in my usual boots but ventured out for the photo today and was surprised it was solid!

So the pools of water sit until waves splash back up, but the water is quite calm today.
