Travel Snapshot – The Big Ben and The London Eye

The 5-Star icons in London, both London Eye and Big Ben are located in City of Westminster borough of London central. No single traveler visiting London would ever miss these 2 giant structures. Neither do I. On my 3rd day in London, I witnessed them with my very naked eyes. Not quite enough. I snapped them with my favourite travel DSLR combo, the Nikon D60 fitted with Tamron SP10-24mm  Ultra Wide Angle Lens (this combo will not be used anymore on my next year Eastern Europe trip as I would swap my Nikon D60 with Nikon D7000! Hooray!!). Guess what? I’m sharing them with my readers HERE on my travel photo blog!
