I'm sorry. I didn't know about Trinity and its reputation. My wife and I
spent several hours in Greenwich in July, in transit down to the Thames
Barrier. Had I known, I definitely would have made a short visit. A good
reason to return. I shot a short video of a string ensemble on the
dock. Terrible audio interference from the crowd (which rather negates
shooting the thing in the first place, wouldn't you say?).
