If you like taking photos of fireworks, and have a camera that is at all larger than a mobile phone, then the evening of Sun 5th Feb will be right up your street.

Well, right up a hill more accurately.

There will be a firework display right next to the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich at 6pm and will last for around 15 minutes. The river navigation notice from the PLA says that barges (note the plural) will be moored in the middle of the river for the display.

That means, anyone with a suitable camera/zoom lens who hikes up the hill to the Greenwich Observatory will get some pretty amazing photos of the historic college, the fireworks and Canary Wharf.

Alternatively, you might be able to find a suitable spot closer to the fireworks (the official location is Pepys Lawn) or on the northern side, on the the Isle of Dogs.

Nothing on the ORN website about something happening that evening, but there are details on Greenwich.co.uk. The event is to mark the back-patting exercise in becoming a Royal Borough.

I thought Greenwich politicians didn’t like fireworks? OK, that churlishness aside, decent sized firework display and next to some impressive buildings.

It’s a photographers delight.
