This is not the sky one would expect to see in London, but we lucked out -- 9 days of sunshine and 1 cloudy day-- so, this sky is not a product of 'photoshopping'. I shot this from Westminster Bridge [love the street lights] down the Thames to catch the London Eye. Blimey, all of a sudden I need some Fish-n-Chips.

Lovely story telling image! I love it.
Terrific composition, very well framed.
Beautiful London sky...love that ferris wheel.
I sure do like the perspective on this. It creates the illusion that those eye riders really are in the clouds. Elegant!
Beautiful blue sky iin a sunny day.
This is great Stan! Excellent composition and a gorgeous BLUE sky!
Stan, I wondered how you "created" that blue sky... so glad that you enjoyed such a long sojourn with blue and fluffy white clouds.
That is a fabulous lamppost with its color and detail!

That is one gorgeous light post, Stan.
Thanks for visiting and commenting today. I truly appreciate it! :)
Great composition, I like the way the curve of the light mimics the curve of the "eye". You had great light, too.
Super artistic. Lovely perspective on the wheel.
Looks like we both had nice weather in London - here is a shot from last October http://mostlylacounty.blogspot.com/2010/10/eye-eye-candy-london-uk-skywatch-friday.html
What a perfect sky. I love the light post in the front
What beautiful weather... The lamp post looks wonderful with the London Eye in the background.
Definitely a great day to set out and take in the sights!
Blimey indeed :-)
that was some complimentary comment I found on my skywatch post :
I think I'll have it framed .
Mind you, I can return it with interest: including both these structures in one shot with sunlight on them is a feat.
You deserve the fish and chips. Hold the vinegar I presume.
I love love love this photo. And blimey you sound like an Englishman. LOL
Hi Stan! I guess you were lucky to have so much sunshine... even here in the northeast...sunshine is getting to be a rarity!
Beautiful photo ~ should be sent to the London travel agencies ;o)
~happy weekend~

Great photos! The first one has a dreamlike atmosphere - very beautiful.
Lots of cool stuff to see in this photo. Awesome perspective, and the three lights with thier patterns as well, all contribute. The sky looks great, clouds always make for a more interesting photo!
Thanks as well for your comments on my blog, I really appreciate it!
Ha, ha, I would love some fish-n-chips too! London has been one of my favorite cities ever since I lived there for 8 months in 1974, and I always enjoy going back.
Great composition, great photo!

glorious photo! Such luck in the weather!
I love the street lights too! Beautiful photo.
