London Eye at Night

London, England

The London Eye is impressive day or night.  As you watch it you can hardly tell that it is moving.  From what I have heard it takes about 25 minutes to complete the ride.  Though I don’t go on rides like this, they are just not my thing, (I would prefer to photograph them) I stand in awe that a man can make something so majestic and cool like the London Eye!

The London Eye has 32 capsules representing the 32 Boroughs of London and each holds 25 people, so 800 people can be on the London Eye.  WOW, that is amazing!!

The London Eye sits on the River Thames and was completed in 2000. It is a giant Ferris wheel that stands 443 feet, when completed it was the world’s tallest Ferris Wheel but was surpassed in 2008 by the Singapore Flier (541′) and in 2014 by the High Roller in Las Vegas (550′).  I don’t like Ferris Wheels, so I haven’t been on the London Eye, but Craig and Chelsea have been on it and on the Singapore Flier.

Buckingham Palace

Westminster, London , England

After going to a cute play with our son and his family, we decided to visit a few tourist places around London. As always, there were so many people at Buckingham Palace, the official residence of the British Monarch, but by getting back a bit with the gardens, it takes on a much calmer look!

Waiting at Buckingham Palace

With so many people here at Buckingham Palace, waiting for the possible chance of seeing the Queen, I thought I would sit and RELAX too, because you never know! As you can see the pigeon got tired of waiting!

While waiting for our train (we missed the first one) I RELAXED just as another train flew by!  I always keep myself busy, I never get bored!!
