Eye and Sky - Skywatch Friday


Royal Windsor Wheel

Pictured here for your delectation is Windsor's version of the London Eye, so without further delay, I give you Windsor Eye, or Royal Windsor Wheel as it's formally known. And, right behind that is the glorious blue sky of a June day out. 

 Swan and ducks on the Thames at Windsor

No, I didn't go up and see the view for much the same reason as I didn't go up the London Eye - I don't do heights, but it's not like there isn't much else to see right there on Terra firma. 



For more wonderful skies from around the blogoshere, check out Skywatch Friday.

Oh, I love them, Rob!! What gorgeous skies you are enjoying -- even if you did have to get through a crappy winter to finally be able to enjoy them! I don't do heights well either, love the swans! Superb post for the day, my friend!! Have a terrific weekend!

I dont do heights either .. what's up (sorry) with all these wheels and 'you' Brits?

Carolyn said...

I'll do heights but not ferris wheels....I have always had this fear that the wheel will come off and roll away...go figure!!
Beautiful photos Rob and so glad you are having a lovely summer.

Oh it's like the cuter little brother. Didn't know about this. Neat! I wouldn't go on it or it's bigger brother. Crazies.

Nope , Not for me either! Top of the stairs is far enough up for me!
Beautiful photos of the blue sky over Windsor where I agree there is plenty to do at ground level.
Is the Safari Park still there? We spent a lovely day there once upon a time!

Rob - That wheel against the sky is wonderful, but it looks way too high for me, too! I'll stand on the banks of the river with you instead.
