sky is the limit

Last Saturday I played the tourist and went to the London Eye.

“Like the Eiffel Tower in Paris, which was originally built as a temporary structure for the city’s Great Exhibition in 1889, the London Eye would animate the skyline and provide a new perspective on the city”

Beautiful but expensive, the tour last a big total of 20 minutes! Seen for the sky, London looks like an architectural laboratory: between Big Ben, the Post-modern habitation complexes along the Thames and the Gherkin, there is a world. Nothing to do with the classical and homogeneous view one has from the Eiffel Tower.

See pictures below.
