The world’s largest observation wheel is 135 metres high. It provides a 30-minute, slow-moving ‘flight’ over London. Designed to reflect the elements of air, water, earth and time – the central theme is a circle of white light from within the rim which sweeps the skyline at 135 metres. The passenger capsules signifying ‘time’, is lit internally at the point of embarcation. Each high-tech capsule accommodating up to 25 people. The attraction has the capacity to handle 1,500 visitors every hour. The British Airways London Eye is a privately funded venture between British Airways, the Tussauds Group and London architects David Marks and Julia Barfield.

I like the unique view of this wheel. Well thought out and taken. John
Hi John, thank you for that, I always try and get something a little different. There are sooooo many shots of the London Eye though, I think it must have been photographed from every possible angle already. It was quite a difficult subject though because the wheel is in constant motion so I had to crank up the ISO to compensate, but thankfully the D700 handled it quite well with remarkable little noise. Cheers John.
