Big Ben from London Eye, London

Continuing with my obsession with the London Eye and Big Ben, here are, probably the signing off shots, shots of the Big Ben as seen from the London Eye. This was a challenge in one sense that for some weird reasons, tripods weren't allowed near the London Eye. Two security men came up to me and marked out the region that was like - no tripod zone!

So this and the previous London Eye shots were all via as possibly stable hands, boundary walls and railings, small dividing pillars and ground. 


These ones have come off the boundary wall and railings.
