One of my favorite shots from London, England I took last August in 2007. This is the giant London Eye ferris wheel. I didn’t get the chance to ride it, but just staring up at it was breath taking.
The London Eye (Millenium Wheel) at a height of 135 metres (443 ft) [1], is the biggest Ferris wheel in Europe, and has become the most popular paid tourist attraction in the United Kingdom, visited by over 3 million people a year.[2] At the time it was erected it was the tallest Ferris wheel in the world, until it was surpassed by the Star of Nanchang (160m) in May 2006, and then the Singapore Flyer (165m) on February 11, 2008. However, it is still described by its operators as “the world’s tallest cantilevered observation wheel” (because the entire structure is supported by an A-frame on one side only).[3] The London Eye is located at the western end of Jubilee Gardens, on the South Bank of the River Thames in London, United Kingdom, between Westminster Bridge and Hungerford Bridge. The site is adjacent to that of the former Dome of Discovery, which was built for the Festival of Britain in 1951

This is a beautiful photo of the buildings right next to the Thames, with some of the wheel of London Eye visible as background
The great wheel of London Eye, caught from the side, seems to fill the entire picture with its steel structure and many capsules

I have no idea what this is i think it was used to haul cargo from ships here on the river thames in days gone by. I love this though it is a great shape against the river. This is just past the old Billingsgate Fishmarket along the Thames in London on the city side so thanks for viewing xx
