The Eye & The Tower..

Fortunately, the clouds only teased, and never rained on us.
Having watched excessive quantities of the Olympics this summer in anticipation of this trip, we were ecstatic to take in the view from the iconic Eye at all the various levels.  By the time we were at the top, the sun was shining beautifully!

There's something about seeing Big Ben & Parliament, & especially with the red buses crossing the bridge in front of them, that I just can't tire of!  Whenever I see it, I have to take pictures, despite the fact that I've already done so!  It's an image I've seen countless times, as we all have, and maybe it's because it so defines England, that now that I'm seeing it with my own eyes, I just have to keep taking its picture - I'm smitten by London for sure!!

It was great to be there on a post-Olympic Monday, as the crowds had greatly dissipated  & we  had plenty of space to be enthralled by London's skyline.
