The ride takes 30 minutes and the top point of the wheel is 135 metres above the ground, giving spectacular views across the city.

All of us have hobbies such as playing football, collecting stamps and postcards, dancing, singing.... but some people like to do strange things like building famous monuments with lego. Lego architecture at its best, when Lego ceases to be a simple kids toy and becomes a modern day sculpture. How did they do it? The sheer size, precise detail and the in-depth planning of each creation is mind blowing. You will find the obvious buildings, like the Eiffel Tower and the Statue of Liberty to lesser known
buildings, like the Tower of Belém and the Dome of the Rock.

Anne Geddes was born on 13 of September of 1956 in Australia. She is a photographer, clothing designer and business woman who now lives and works in New Zealand. She is known for her stylized depictions of babies and motherhood. Typical images show babies or young children dressed as fairies and fairytale Creatures,
flowers, or small animals. She has described Hat as "a freak baby." Geddes' books have been published in 83 countries; she has sold more than 18 million books and 13 million calendars. In 1997, Cedco Publishing sold more than 1.8 million calendars and date books bearing Geddes 'photography. Her debut book, Down in the Garden, made it to the New York Times Bestseller List. Her books have been translated into 23 different languages.
Geddes became a
photographer at age 25. She had always been interest in babies in general, but the schools she attended did not offer photography classes. She chose as her subject babies Because of her love of them. "I had seen the way children and babies were being photographed generally. It just did not seem realistic to me that people took their children along to Photographic studios all dressed in their Sunday best, photographs that
did not really show the personality of the shield. "Geddes convinced that "emotional content is an image's most important element" and that people are drawn to her work Because of its simplicity and personality. She prefers black-and-white photography to colour photography. She prefers the black-and-white scheme because she feels that colour distracts from the image and the natural beauty of life.
