Looking though the posts of “London” I realised the only time I’ve shown you the London Eye is peeping over the top of the Embankment station on “Select London” when I was playing with black and white with colour selections, so I thought I’d rectify that now.
A nice blue sky might have shown off the huge wheel better, but hey, it was August, in the middle of the British summer … and at least it wasn’t raining.
More from before : Looking at “London” as a tourist.

Great shots! Have you ever been inside this thing? The line was spectacular last time I visited, so I didn’t get to see the view from the top, but I’ve always been curious. And I loved your comment, too, about shooting these steel-gray, cloud-filled photos in August “in the middle of the British summer.” Indeed! 🙂
No, I haven’t been up in it either.
I’m guessing its expensive, but if I managed to time a visit to London on a perfectly clear day to take full advantage of the views would probably be worth it… but imagine how many other people would have the same idea ! Imagine the queues then. 🙂
Actually, I think the drama of the clouds shows it off much better. 🙂 You haven’t been? It’s not all that expensive… or wasn’t 12 years ago and I know times have changed. If you do go, go at sunset. Or at night. I wasn’t worried about photography when I lived in London so I’m not sure I have any photos of the view. We had friends and family visit us so I took more than one trip on the London Eye so surely there must be one or two. I’ll have to look.
Oooh thanks, I’d love to see some photos from the top if you can find any.
And anyone elses photos from the top of the eye too if you’re reading this. 🙂
