The London Eye (Millennium Wheel) - (Selected by GETTY IMAGES)

            .
.

I was originally enrolled into the GETTY IMAGES collection as a contributor on April 9th 2012, and when links with FLICKR were terminated in March 2014, I was retained and fortunate enough to be signed up via a second contract, both of which have proved to be successful with sales of my photographs all over the world now handled exclusively by them. 

On November 12th 2015 GETTY IMAGES unveiled plans for a new stills upload platform called ESP (Enterprise Submission Platform), to replace the existing 'Moment portal', and on November 13th I was invited to Beta test the new system prior to it being officially rolled out in December. ESP went live on Tuesday December 15th 2015 and has smoothed out the upload process considerably.

These days I take a far more leisurely approach to my photographic exploits, and having moved from professional Nikon equipment to consumer bodies and lenses, I travel light less constraints and more emphasis on the pure capture of the beauty that I see, more akin to my original persuits and goals some five decades previously when starting out. I would like to say a huge and heartfelt 'THANK YOU' to GETTY IMAGES, and the 22.732+ Million visitors to my FLICKR site.

A Southeastern Network train from Bexleyheath to London Bridge Station at 07:50am this morning on a beautiful cold  January day and the nice walk back along the South Bank towards Charring Cross Station, mingling with the locals and tourists alike in this wonderful city.

Photograph taken at an altitude of Thirteen metres at 12:11pm on Tuesday 30th January 2018 of London's number one Tourist attraction for the past several years, The London Eye, taken on the Hungerford Bridge towards the Victoria Embankment A3211 end, Central London, England.

The London Eye is a giant ferris wheel on the River Thames originally constructed between 1998 and 2000 and known officially as 'The Millennium wheel'. Originally leased and branded as the British Airways London Eye, it later changed to the EDF Energy London Eye, and is currently The Coca Cola London Eye since 2014.
