London By Night

When the grandparents were here, we took in a play in London's West End. Walking back to Waterloo train station afterwards in the dark, we we paused on a footbridge next to a railbridge, and looked across the Thames at the London Eye to the left, and Big Ben with the Houses of Parliament to the right:

I had some fun jiggling my camera around at the city lights:

Here's the bridge we were standing on, with the London Eye (an enormous closed ferris wheel that holds up to twenty-five people per cabin) at the bottom of the photo - isn't it neat to see the shadow of the London Eye reaching all the way to our bridge?

In finding this google satellite image, I also enjoyed looking at the satellite view of Westminster Abbey right near Big Ben:
