Wow, that sure is a high up isn't it. Mike - go on, be a devil. Just don't look down and you'll be fine. I bet there would be some fabulous photo opportunities from up there;) The only fear is that of the unknown - except when it comes to needles, 'coz I'm scared (allergic!) of them too, and I know what they are about LOL.

It's amazing how the 'cars' are attached to the outside of the wheel. All the other Ferris Wheels I have seen have the cars dangling from the inside. Very 'new millenium'

Hi Mike! I thought of you and this picture last Tuesday. Our boss took us for a planning day in a hotel just along from here, and at 11.00 he stunned us by suddenly saying, "OK, we're going on the London Eye now!"

It was a great ride, and I'm sorry that your problem with heights stops you being able to enjoy it!

Is that the one they call the London Eye? It is not scarey at all because you are enclosed and it goes real slow. I made my husband go on it with me when we went there in 2003. Cool photo.

great shot, Mike. Did you go for a ride on it? A friend of mine in Hants sent me a pic from inside one of the "cars", or whatever they're called :) Great view from up there.

I've heard people talk about the Millennium Wheel but never saw as good an image as you got here, Grumpy. I gre up in St John's Wood and spent my last summer there as a Harrod's "Junior" (wrapped up dresses "on approval" for Princess Anne when she was 9!!!). I know it's fairly close to the Thames, but how far, say, from The Tower?

I can hear the circus music and I'm ready to ride that tremendous ferris wheel or whatever it may be called. *g* You captured the essence of excitement. Very good at capturing the picture too!!!

Beautiful shot of the wheel. The buildings and wheel in the foregound with the gorgeous sky/clouds in the background makes the scene stand out.
