London Eye |
||||||
| Lynnette and I waited for good weather before going on theLondon Eye, a big Ferris Wheel on the banks of the Thames. Since it's unlikely that I'll get to fly my RV over London at 1000 feet, I figured the London Eye was the next best thing. It's 443 feet high. | ||||||

|
Crossing the footbridge over the
Thames on the way to the
Eye.
|
||||||
|
||||||
| Going up. I'm afraid of heights so I was a little nervous at this point, staying in the center of the gondola. | ||||||
|
||||||
|
A good view of Westminster
Palace. We're only halfway up and we're already level with Big
Ben.
|
||||||
|
||||||
| That's Buckingham Palace top center. Just underneath it is St. James Park. Next are two big government buildings. Downing Street, home of #10 Downing, is to the right of the building on the right. | ||||||
|
||||||
| Trafalgar Square is in the middle of the image. You can see Nelson's monument poking up. Scotland Yard is in that maze of buildings underneath it. | ||||||
|
||||||
| Still going up. | ||||||
|
||||||
|
Just about on
top.
|
||||||
|
||||||
| Westminster Abbey is in the center of the image. | ||||||
|
||||||
|
St. Paul's Cathedral, again, in the
center of the
image.
