London U.K. London Eye, The world from above. Λονδίνο Η.Β., Το "Μάτι του Λονδίνου". Ο κόσμος από ψηλά.

The wheel does not stop turning. You run and enter the plexiglass capsule and as it starts to rise, the horizon is expanding and a new world is being revealed before your eyes. It is the wold as the birds see it. From above.
 Ο τροχός δεν σταματά να γυρνά. Τρέχεις να μπείς μέσα στην πλαστική κάψουλα και όπως αρχίζει ν' ανυψώνεται, ο ιορίζοντας αρχίζει να επεκετείνεται και ένας καινούριος κόσμος ανοίγεται μπροστά στα μάτια σου. Η εικόνα του κόσμου από ψηλά. Όπως την βλέπουν τα πουλιά.

Oh Costas, you have now answered my question! How marvelous that you went up and took these amazing images from all around you! I think that would just be such a neat thing to do. Your images are sharp and crisp, very wonderful series, as always~

These are so awesome, Costas!! I would so love to be able to see/do this! Incredible captures for the day! And I see that some clouds were returning to the English skies!! Hope your weekend is going well!

Amazing. I lived in London for 3 years after they built it, saw it actually coming up, but I never managed to go in it, the queues were always far too long.

Τώρα που τις ξανακοιτάζω, χάλια το ποτάμι τους. Σκέτη λάσπη. Ο Δούναβης εδώ μοιάζει καλίτερος. Αλλά γι'αυτά δεν φταις εσυ φυσικά. Καλή σου μέρα.
