Even the London Eye doesn’t get off lightly. Light tinted green to celebrate  St. Patricks Day I think it looks even better in green and I am sure a lot of Irish people would also agree with me.

I’m not too sure what the lettering is supposed to say but that is definitely an St. Patricks Day theme and colour style. Street art is always the best kind (to me anyway.)

The St. Patricks Day parade in Chicago is the biggest St. Patricks Day parade in the world!
