i360, Brighton

The i360 is a Brighton tourist attraction we’ve walked past a million times but never been to. A glass flying saucer travels up the tower pictured here, providing panoramic vistas out to sea and of the city and beyond to the South Downs. We went as sunset approached. Below, a view of the base of the tower from the waiting area (with reflections).
