London Eye seen from across the Thames (River), where the riverboats load passengers. As far as I am aware, the Eye never stops moving, but moves so slow that people can get into and off the pods without the need for a total halt. I have been fortunate to go up at dusk and see the lights coming on all over London. To me, this is the best time. It takes about 45 minutes for a complete circuit.
Just behind me was a public toilet where they charge 50 pence to pee. I think that is hitting below the belt, basically milking people in their bursting moments.

The London Eye pic is fantastic. However, your developing prowess in creating panos is well ahead of your understanding of this society. You still seem to have much of the Rock in you. No - that is NOT to suggest that you should expunge all 'Rockiness' from your being.
A hierosgamos of the two is possible (daize one fuh yuh tuh resuch (aka research)). But let not one hide the other. You'll note my strange 'mystic union' of Queen's English with plain Dongkey Rock language - for example - and I still know the culture of the latter, very very well. Haven't lost it.
Yuh see in dis here country - dee culture is dat in some places you have to pay to pee and shit. And eef yuh don't pay.. and you decide to pee or shit on dee side o' dee street claiming you eh have change, you're ass will be locked up in a place where you can have a free pee and shit. And you'll get a free meal too - looking out through some steel bars!!
There is a cost to emptying dee bowels. Somebody has to pay for dat. Eef you want to empty your bowels and have somebody else dispose of the excrement, den you should bloody well pay. Quite a percentage of the visitors to London (expecially in dem parts you photographed) are Tourists - dey don't contribute to Council Taxes in the local area that would normally keep these services running as a public service. Why should many like me paying taxes through we nose for dem (from outside of London) to have a dump!? Dat eh fair. [Ahm.. t'ink carefully about the word 'Tourist' before yuh make any assumptions]. Dey deserved to be milked... and eef you go in a tourist zone you pay tourist rates. Daize it.
Yuh see - its called F*ing discipline! Dee word might exist in dee natives' dictionary dong dey.. being spawned from the loins o' dee English. But dee concept doh really hold much in dey head. Dey want everyt'ing now fuh now.. and dey want it free too, wid a big grin. No sir! England is a more mature society - and I expect you to mature with it, while still holding on to your roots. Hence dee preshaaaahhhh! :) ;)
I have to agree with the Captain and the panoramic shots are fantastic! I need to do some of these of some abandon cane fields near Pt. Lisas. Maybe next weekend I can do some.
five dollars TT to pee is expepensive and will encourage pee-ers to pee on other objects like the outside walls of public toilets.
Lol, if I can put in a request... can you one of the Temple in the Sea? :)
I suspect that will be very interesting, not to mention beautiful.
