Strange dolphins on Victoria Embankment, London
The London Eye is a giant Ferris wheel on the South Bank of the River Thames in London. It first rotated in 1999. Also known as the Millennium Wheel, this has become one of the Britains most popular tourist attractions. Here we see it contrasting with carved - and rather fanciful - dolphins on the Victorian lanterns lining the Embankment

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Jon Bower, we are transported to the enchanting Victoria Embankment in London. The iconic London Eye stands tall and proud, its giant Ferris wheel structure dominating the skyline. As one of Britain's most beloved tourist attractions, it has become a symbol of modernity and leisure. However, what truly catches our attention is the unexpected contrast between the contemporary marvel and the intricate Victorian lanterns that line the embankment. Carved with whimsical dolphins, these wrought iron street lights add an element of old-world charm to this bustling cityscape. Silhouetted against a dramatic sky filled with fluffy clouds, the suspended gondolas and cables of the London Eye create an abstract pattern that mesmerizes us. The framework of girders and spokes supports this magnificent wheel as it rotates gracefully along the river bank. This photograph beautifully captures both old and new elements coexisting harmoniously in Westminster's architectural landscape. It reminds us that even amidst progress and innovation, remnants of history can still be found if we take a moment to appreciate them. Jon Bower's skillful composition invites us to ponder on contrasts - not only between structures but also between past and present. It serves as a reminder that while change is inevitable, embracing our heritage adds depth to our experiences in this ever-evolving world.
