Despite its general success nationally and as a tourist destination, when I first saw the London Eye I was admittedly a little disappointed. It was gray out and I felt that its profile was an awkward, spindly intrusion on the generally low skyline of the city. I have since revisited it, and I find that the more I am here, the more I like it. It pops out at you every so often as you are walking near the Thames like a hidden toy waiting to be discovered. Its especially beautiful at night.
I associate London with childhood stories like Marry Poppins and Peter Pan, and the Eye brings that whimsical sense of being to a most serious part of town. Can you imagine having a ferris wheel across from the White House?
It also makes for an excellent photo opportunity, in every sense of the phrase.
Your photography classes are paying off. Nice work. Your almost as good as me!!! Luv ya
