The Palace of Westminster from “The London Eye”

It was a dull and overcast day. The “pod” was not clean and covered in raindrops and the curved Plexiglas caused a lot of distortion and generated a load of internal reflections. But the challenge was fun.

Loved the first one

I rally like the first one. The perspective is very interesting. It looks more like something done with a T&S lens, the buiding lines are all parallel. Very nice.

I don't understand what you were riding(?) in or taking the pictures from. Is it some kind of giant ferris wheel?

Lovely!! I was there in June this year! Amazing experience to go up on the eye!! My pics were taken with a small digital cam I was a bit worried about taking my bags with my canon. I found London very overwhelming!!!

Great shots neil, I was lucky enough to do the trip at dusk which was spectacular. My favourite is No 1.
