When I think of London, I often see gray. But not this time. This creative photo from Sarah Landau, a professional touring lighting designer, paints the traditional London skyline a little differently. Featuring the eye, Big Ben, and the Thames, this spooky image is a bit thought-provoking. My thought at this moment: I'd like to visit London again... immediately.

Mar 8th, 2011 at 4:00PM:
Just a few days ago it was Las Vegas getting a London Eye-like Ferris wheel & amusement park. Now, add Orlando to that list as a Madame Tussauds wax museum and a 425-foot Orlando Eye observation wheel will be part of a new tourist complex in central Florida.
At 425 feet, the Orlando Eye wheel will be almost as high as the 443-foot tall London Eye and be part of a sprawling dining, ...London Eye replica proposed for downtown Atlanta

Downtown Atlanta could become home to a 45-story Ferris wheel ride called the "Atlanta Eye."
The Eye would be a replica of London's iconic wheel which sits on the south bank of the River Thames between the Hungerford and Westminster bridges.
WXIA-TV in Atlanta reports that an Atlanta law firm is spearheading the project, and that the group met with representatives from Atlanta's business ...Concorde supersonic jet to find new home in London
Oct 13th, 2010 at 1:30PM: Seven years after the final Concorde flight, one of the 11 remaining supersonic passenger jets may find a new home on London's South Bank, next to the London Eye. RHWL Architects, whose past projects include the British Airways headquarters and the Four Seasons Canary Wharf, are rumored to have planned a $35 million dollar double-decker display with a river boat landing underneath the plane.
...Through the Gadling Lens: taking photographs at night
Jun 25th, 2009 at 11:00AM: Recently, I received a note from a friend of mine who'd just returned from a vacation: I just returned from a vacation in which much of our activity was at night. I didn't carry a tripod, and I was dissatisfied with using either the auto setting on the camera (the flash burst overexposed my subjects' faces) or the in-camera "night setting" (the subjects' skin seemed blurry and everything in the ...Geotagging cameras create accidental maps
Apr 28th, 2009 at 11:00AM: One could easily spend hours browsing images on social photo-sharing sites like Flickr. From time to time I find myself on the site's "interestingness" page, endlessly hitting the reload button and marvelling at all the beautiful photography. But one unintended consequence of all these photos has nothing to do with what they look like - it's all the information like tags, camera type and location ...Get better service being stuck on the London Eye than on an airplane
Mar 28th, 2008 at 10:30AM: Here's an observation by Mike Nezza at The Lede. Although, it was ruled by a federal court that airlines don't need to provide passengers with comforts if they are detained while sitting in an airplane, passengers stuck on London's gigantic Ferris wheel, the London Eye don't have to worry about such trifles.
Just like Abha reported in her post, if you get stuck on the London Eye, you'll get ...Photo of the Day (5/10/06)
May 10th, 2006 at 1:03PM: Yesterday, I did a post featuring China's bid for the largest ferris wheel in the world -- so clearly, today, when it came to picking the photo of the day, I couldn't resist this photo taken at the top of the London Eye. I particularly like the fact that the photographer, bamassippi, shot it in black-and-white -- after all, London's famous for its grey skies, isn't it? If you'd like one of ...
