Fore someone like myself who doesn’t see it day in and day, you don’t think of it as a moving thing. I have never seen it shot as a closeup, mostly it seen in a city panoramic shot where it just kinda blends into the city lights. But with the ‘eye’ close to being squared off by the 90 degree silhouette fore front at right, it’s pods along a circle, the inward linear guide lines and trailing blue lights all which soften by a sensational sunset, there is a feeling that there is life to it.
Another thing I like about this picture is the sunset. As I’m almost on the side of that horizon tonight, we were robbed of that sunset by thick black autumn storms clouds -it feels like snow in the air here tonight.
Close ups of the Eye from just below it on the South Bank are very dramatic. I’ll see if I have any to hand. Whereabouts are you? It was pretty mild here last night, grey this morning but dry, the prospect of snow makes me shiver. Thanks for commenting.
Nice picture. You’ve used maximum tele I suspect, so I’m (wildly) guessing that’s from somewhere in Lambeth, always assuming I’ve got the orientation of the wheel right of course.
Yes, you never know who you’re talking to on the Web.
I’ve had half a dozen addresses around Lambeth and Kennington going back to the fifties including one that looked onto Kennington Park where the Chartists had their mass meeting and figures in a contemporary engraving.

Ah, you had a similar sky this evening… it was fantastic! Lovely with the eye in front.
And now rain. Lots of indoor play with MasterB. Greg and Pippi playing together yet?
not really! Less growwling though. And Pippi is staying away quite a bit.
Staying away? What sleep overs with other households? Or avoiding his gingerness? Sounds like her nose is quite out of joint.
not sure. She’s been missing now since Friday.
Oh no, you must be beside yourselves. I hope she turns up safe and well soon. Is she chipped?
Isn’t the Eye an amazing landmark… comes up on the skyline from all angles. Lovely photo.
Thanks, and yes it is lovely, yet it was only supposed to be here for a year.
Wow, is this really your view?
That’s incredible! I’d spend a lot of time looking out my window. You probably do!
To be fair, it doesn’t always look like this!
Cool photo.
🙂
What spectacular sight against that sky. I didn’t know that it was supposed to be a temporary thing.
I hope it stays put!

Now that is a great one. Conjures up all sorts of emotions!
Really? What sort of emotions?
What a fab view 🙂

Ah, that would be telling! You might be a stalker. 🙂

But I was too late for that. By about 110 years.
I hate missing appointments, don’t you? 🙂
I can’t believe you have that for your view! I mean, I believe you Isobel but what a view. I can’t imagine!!
The joy of London!
How do you ever get anything done with Master B and views like that…
Well, it is a struggle:)
Stunning! 🙂
Thanks. 🙂
