I took this when by Leicester Square over the weekend. If you like it, you might find these shots of the Prater Wheel in Vienna worth a look (here, here and here)
It isn’t the London Eye, though it is pretty near it. It was just in a small fair by all the main cinemas. I didn’t get a chance to see it though it did look really fun. I hope you’ve been able to go on some fun ones near you. They do look similar https://alexraphael.wordpress.com/2014/01/26/travel-snapshot-london-eye-london/
Riding a ferris wheel always sounds like a good idea when my feet are firmly planted on terra firma, so I get in the little box/cage of death and then it stops at the top and just dangles there…rocking back and forth as nervous laughter escapes from clenched teeth and blisters form from whited knuckles; and instantly I remember all the reasons never to go on one again! 😉
very nice– the bright white lights and glow are so inviting and a little nostalgic — Ferris Wheels are one of my MOST favorite things ever– especially at small carnivals. 🙂

I would live to ride on the London eye. 🙂

By the way, your pictures are brilliant!
When I went to Winter Wonderland recently, there were some very scary looking rides. And big queues for people to go on them haha. Thank you kindly 🙂

I’m really glad you like them too. I didn’t get the chance to go on this one, but I made sure I at least took a photograph as I really do like them.
Me too 🙂 and have a hard time resisting not stopping when I see them just for a ride ~
Tell me about it!
