Another view from the i360 as the sun lowered in the sky over the English Channel.

I’m fixing a hole…

…where the rain could get in?

Surprised to find lots of cracks in the glass of the i360 in several places. I guess these panes are not easy to replace.

Regency Square

As the i360 began to rise, we had a view of Regency Square and other nearby streets. Unfortunately the curved glass saucer shape of the chamber made it impossible to banish all the reflections.

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).

Brighton, Dusk

The last of the dusk’s murmuration before the starlings all dove beneath the pier to roost.

Brighton Boosters

The i360, West Pier and the Boer War Memorial, all in a single shot from Regency Square with wind turbines in the English Channel in the distance.

i360 Reflections

The i360 is a tourist attraction offering views of Brighton, with a mirrored cafeteria at its base – I couldn’t resist taking a double selfie in its window even as I’ve resisted taking a ride in it for the 3 months we’ve been here. See the West Pier reflected in the background again.
