The fearless thrive
craving the ride
The meek survive
biding their time
The edge is near
casting a dare
Fiercely tread
heart in hand

It’s worth it. I went on it the first time I went to London and it was incredible! Go at sunset if you can. 🙂

Wonderful post — loved it, perhaps even moreso as I remember sitting in St. James Park, catching my breath after a lot of walking, gathering my thoughts and impressions … it was so peaceful..

Even with the tourists rushing about, St. James is always so peaceful. A very different feel from Hyde Park. 🙂

Fearless or meek? Sometimes I am one; another time the other. Enjoyed this post and wishing to visit St. James Park some day.

There’s a little bit of both in everyone, I think. 🙂 I hope you get to St. James park one day.

You’ve captured the emotion of thrill riders. 🙂 I never would have believed I’d have the nerve to ride so many coasters at Islands of Adventure in Florida, but couldn’t let the kids see my fear! lol

I’m usually a pretty calm person, but put me in front of roller coaster and I become a daredevil. I will go on every scary ride there is! 🙂

Me, too, unless I know I will be left hanging upside down. After falling on my head as a kid, I kind of have a phobia about being upside down. 🙂

That’s a good shot. I don’t think I’ve ever seen the eye from that location before.

Thanks! 🙂 The view of Buckingham usually steals everyone’s attention at St. James Park. It’s amazing what you see when you turn around.

That’s such a peaceful shot of the water and trees, and then my eye sees “the eye” .I really like the contrast of nature with engineering. I rode the eye as the sun was setting and lighting up the dome of St.Paul’s. Perfect time of day to see London from that vantage point.

I did the exact same thing! I rode the London Eye on the last rotation just as the sun was setting. It was incredible! 🙂

Thanks! 🙂 Next time I go back, I’m going to try and get a shot of the Eye from the South side of the Thames, (but not from the embankment). I love capturing icons like that from unique angles.
