The London Eye from the top. Of course, it's not our pod but it's still cool.
One thing I have to say about the London Eye. You get perspective on the world. Sometimes we're going in circles up and down and we don't realize we're in a glass box and the world seems bigger than it is or smaller than it is depending on where you're focusing.
And it is always easier to focus on the pod in front of you or behind you than it is to focus on your own. In fact, it's impossible to see your own pod with any sort of perspective. But looking at the other pods can be quite beautiful.
If the light strikes from behind you can see the shapes of people as they look out and it can be quite striking. Or you see them from the front and you make up little stories for each of them.
They're on their honeymoon.
The husband and wife aren't talking but they're here for the children.
They're on a University holiday.
He's a journalist.
Stuff like that.
Funny that we make up stories when we don't know them. We read people like books and create our own thoughts about them. Sometimes they're fairytales. Most of the time they're not. But they're interesting all the same...especially if they belong to the pod next to you.
