Greetings all! It's been a while since I've been around but it's sure nice to be back! Returned last week from some time in London. There are a few more images to follow this one (what a fantastic place to shoot!), but this one gets us started. The shots will not be in a traditional series -- I'm far too manic for that! I captured this from the London Eye, inside one of the pods. Very difficult shooting as the molded round plastic bubble one rides in distorts the view and reflects light from inside. I was still able to capture this postcard-like image at sunset. Hope you enjoy and please look for more England shots to follow. Thank you!

Hey Scott, was lookin' for you the other day and realized you'd been gone a while! Welcome back and what a fine first offering this is... Absolutely wonderful - wide and colorful and I would have never known this was shot through a windscreen! Amazing capture.... Can't wait to see more! ~Mary~

You did very well to capture such a fine shot from inside a plastic transparent pod! Great work - London as it should be seen.

Great capture, must have been difficult as you say, perfect light to compliment this fantastic building.
