Hi Raymond,

The London Eye, sometimes called the Millennium Wheel, is the largest observation wheel in the world (though often erroneously called a Ferris wheel), and has been since its opening at the end of 1999. It stands 135 metres (443 feet) high. the wheel carries 32 sealed, air conditioned, passenger capsules attached to its external circumference. It rotates at a rate of 0.26 metres per second (about 0.9 km/h or 0.6 mph) so that a complete revolution takes about 30 minutes to complete.

[ajmall]

a difficult shot to capture no doubt! a great attempt. don't mean to be "critique" but the reflection is slightly distracting.

Can't quite deny the feeling of some vertigo here, either, though it is ONE good photo, wow. Yes, of course it would have been nicer without the reflection, but personally I am happier to see you were in a close-in situation that high up than if you had been in the open
