Old and new

In the foreground are the rusting supports of Brighton's West Pier, which burned down in 2003. Behind it is the newly-opened i360. It's 162m tall and is the world's first vertical cable car and tallest moving observation tower.
The ride costs £15 (£7.50 if you live in Brighton) and on a clear day you can see for 26 miles. I didn't go up, just stayed on the shore to take photos. Twice this month the i360 has got stuck...

Here's a short film about it.


 PS According to the operator, the "i" in the title stands for "intelligence, innovation and integrity". Some local residents say it is an i-sore...what do you think?
