EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Contrasts - the London Eye and a Victorian Lantern 6" by Jon Bower beautifully captures the essence of old and new, tradition and progress. In this mesmerizing image, we are presented with two iconic structures that symbolize different eras in London's rich history. On one side, we have the majestic London Eye, standing tall on the South Bank of the River Thames. This giant Ferris wheel, also known as the Millennium Wheel, has become an emblematic tourist attraction since its first rotation in 1999. Its modern design is characterized by gondolas suspended from cables, creating a stunning pattern against the sky. On the other side of this visual juxtaposition stands a Victorian lantern exuding an air of nostalgia. Silhouetted against a glowing sunrise backdrop, it represents an era long gone but not forgotten. The intricate framework and hanging girders showcase exquisite craftsmanship that contrasts starkly with the contemporary lines of its neighboring counterpart. This photograph invites us to contemplate how time shapes our surroundings while reminding us that beauty can be found both in progress and preservation. It serves as a reminder to embrace change while cherishing our heritage—a testament to London's ability to harmoniously blend old-world charm with modern innovation along its historic river bank.
