Pictures taken by weaver, Dec 14 2001, on the London Eye. Sun was low to the south-south-west.
From just off the ground, looking north west across the river. Hungerford Bridge is in the foreground.

A similar elevation, looking north east. St Paul's nestles between the South Bank complex buildings.
|
Rising for about six minutes, looking north-west. The Ministry of Defence is immediately behind the river; then comes Charing Cross station, with the Post Office tower (about 2 miles away) poking out from through the air conditioning steam. Centre Point is the brownish cigar-shaped object to the right, with the office blocks on the Victoria Embankment at the far right.
|
About half way up, looking south. This is the mechanics of the wheel. County Hall is on the left of the river, the Millbank tower dominates the right bank.
|
By this height, we can see the end of the layer of smog. This is looking slightly east of north.
|
First of six shots from near the top of the ride. This one's looking almost due west, towards Buckingham Palace.
|
This one looks north-west. Note how the skyscrapers are visible. The hills in the distance are Hampstead Heath, almost seven miles away.
|
Looking just north of east, towards the Shell Centre, with Waterloo station hiding behind. The shadows on the horizon are the towers at Canary Wharf and Docklands.
|
This one's looking north, towards Holburn and Bloomsbury.
|
And looking south west, towards Croydon and Lambeth.
|
It's a long way down...
|
This one's about two-thirds down, looking south west. St George's Tower (Big Ben) catches the light.
|
Similar height, looking down at the pepole walking past County Hall.
|
This one's of the rooftop of County Hall. The weathervane is in the shape of a dolphin.
