The London Eye


The London Eye
Originally uploaded by bastchild.

This is the largest ferris wheel in the world, at a height of 135 meters. It was built for the turn of the millenium (also known as the Millenium Wheel), but it didn't start operations until March 2000. It takes 30 minutes to make a full rotation and actually doesn't stop to take on passengers; it moves slow enough for passengers to disembark and board.
