Views from the London Eye

I have photos of over 50 London landmarks. If that's what you're looking for, see the full listing, here.

I visited the Eye with my mother on 18 November 2002 at 3pm. Again the sun made photography of the Houses of Parliament difficult, but the light was better than last time I visited.

View fullsize Rising up, a view of Big Ben in front of a bright sun.	View fullsize Looking east to St Pauls and the Gherkin.
View fullsize Peering down at the river through the Wheel.	View fullsize Charing Cross station and Hungerford Railway Bridge, BT tower and the West End behind.
View fullsize Northeast view - the Thames looked beautiful.	View fullsize Further round to the northeast, looking at the City.
View fullsize The pod below us, and a good view of Hungerford Railway Bridge.	View fullsize Due east, towards my home.
View fullsize Looking southeast, to Crystal Palace transmitter. It can be seen in the centre of the fullsize photo.	View fullsize Northeast again. The light made this the prettiest view.
View fullsize My mother stares into the sun.	View fullsize I got nabbed too.
View fullsize The sun began to hide, so I could finally photograph the view to the west.	View fullsize The best picture I could get of Big Ben, with Westminster Abbey behind it. To photograph Westminster, avoid the afternoon!
View fullsize The south bank, with banners advertising the Dali exhibition in County Hall.	View fullsize A final view of the Houses of Parliament from the ground.

This was my second trip on the Eye. The photos from my previous visit are here.
