Belfast, Northern Ireland, UK

The magnificent Belfast City Hall (seen insinuating itself into the picture from behind) had to be the ‘big wheel’ in town, so the Belfast Wheel had to go. It lasted for 2-1/2 years, but was never meant to be permanent. But, neither was the London Eye, the Thames-side spoke-ride that would have put a smile on George Ferris’s face. [2009]
