Shard + Graffitti

Approaching Blackfriars

Approaching Blackfriars

The Shard towers over the graffiti and brickwork of the backstreets

Early morning skyline

Shard from Millenium Bridge

There are those who think that all the Shard needs is the Eye of Sauron flaming from the top.  But not on a clear soft morning like this

Hooray! It's rained

Vauxhall

It's been too hot for me, the trains and Tube are unbearable, but the Gods have relented, just for a while. It has rained

From the other side

Tower Bridge

I usually cross the river by the western bridges, but this time was on a 78 over Tower bridge.  This journey is famous for 30th December 1952, when Albert Gunter drove his 78 bus over the bridge whilst it was opening.  They all made it (driver, bus and passengers) to the other side, with only one broken leg between them.

One quiet morning

Millennium Bridge

Before the crowds, the tourists, office lunchtime runners and eaters

Shooting into the sun on the morning walk to work. 'London Bridge Morning' doesn't sound as poetic as 'Waterloo Sunset' but it's a mighty fine view

Shard with flare

Farewell

Farewell to the most beautiful view an office could ever have

The skies change quickly in London.  This was taken late afternoon February 2013.  But we have now moved office and some other lucky soul will get to look at it every day.  If it's you , enjoy while you can, the site is going to be re-developed.
