The Story

When BA were almost done creating the world's largest Ferris wheel in our backyard, they decided that a nice thing to do would be to give all the residents in the local area a few free tickets. I managed to get my friends Stu & Alison to skip work with me for the afternoon so that we could be "test pilots". Did I tell you that Stu has a problem with heights? It doesn't show, really...!

Did I tell you Ali hates having her photo taken? Pale faced man & cheerful woman About halfway on the upcycle - looking upstream, the hub makes an interesting picture Looking downstream towards St Pauls
Embankment Place, where Josie works The design & construction of the eye is truly amazing Looking over St James' Park to Buckingham palace (at the end of the lake) A view towards the City of London, with Waterloo Bridge in the foreground
Looking down through the wheel to the river bank below A great shot looking south-west, nearing the top of the wheel's cycle OK, we managed to coax Stu to his feet & pose for a photo The beautiful Houses of Parliament and Big Ben, with Westminster Bridge
Stu and I with the upstream reach and Houses of Parliament behind us Looking upstream & west, without Cam & Stu in the way A great shot of the Horse Guards Hotel & Embankment Place Looking down on our apartment block - we're in the long vertical bit on the left
Big Ben stands tall Looking down on the spectacular curved river-front building of County Hall
