London Eye

---

Took a flight on the London Eye - the new Giant Ferris Wheel on the Thames by Waterloo Station and opposite Westminster. It's built like a giant bicycle wheel and offers great panoramic views, as you can see from the photos.

The Eye was constructed as a temporary structure for the Millennium (minus one) celebrations. It's life has been extended for a few years. Maybe it'll become a permanent part of London's skyline. Just like that large metal thingy in the centre of Paris which also started life as a temporary exhibit for the Paris exhibition. Yes, that thing the visiting Germans contemplated making into tanks in WWII.
