Views from The London Eye

[Arfie]

OK, day after Live 8, we decided to go on the London Eye and here's a few pics of some of

the truly stunning architecture.

I'll name what I can, I'll be happy to be corrected by the Londoners when I get it wrong and

they can fill in the gaps for the stuff I cant remember.

The London Eye

St Pauls Cathedral

Thames facing east and Hungerford Bridge

Fantastic! I've always wanted to go to England......in fact, anywhere in Europe.
I am planning to be a exchange student to Britian my junior year in High school.

Nice pics again Arf

But is it always dark in England? No offence, but all the pics I see of England are kind of dark and drab and sorta, well, grey!!

Unless it's summer, and you get a lovely day, yes.



Nice pictures!

Great photos. I go to the City alot (live about 20 mins away) It's a great place with shi* loads to do. And can I just prove that we do get Sun in this country?

London Eye, cloudless.

No offence taken, yes we do get bright sunny days, yesterday and today are lovely (got burned yesterday), but mostly you are right, it is grey, but thats what makes us such a colourful bunch London is usually covered in Smog so it's always grey

I may nip out this afternoon to the peak district and take a few pics of the wonderful scenery in sunshine for you all as proof that we do get sunshine sometimes.
