It's a Shard Life
I very rarely walk along the North bank of The Thames when I'm in London. I think it's because the South bank is where most of the bars, restaurants and other weird and wonderful things happen and the North bank is more geared towards the businesses etc. So, on Saturday morning after the sun had risen and was too bright to shoot down river I took a walk over to the other side.
The Shard is currently London's tallest building, a lot of people love it, a lot of people don't. But I'm one of those that do, I think it's a great looking building and one that's always worth photographing.
I've seen a few views from where this shot was taken, mostly on the upper level, but as it was busy with people I moved down to the ground so I didn't get in anyone's way. I set up my camera for a long exposure, using the steps and London Bridge to frame The Shard, and with the early morning sun giving the bridge a nice orange glow I think it came out ok.
I have to apologise for the title, it was the first Shard pun that came into my head lol!!
