Skyline Standout
A standout of the London skyline is the Shard, a 95 storey building that as the name suggest looks like a ‘shard of glass’. This structure is so imposing that I was able to capture the top of it as we travelled east on the Thames River into the wharf district. Ironically Metropolitan Wharf is on the north bank of the Thames and the Shard is on the south bank. I had to look at a map to put this into perspective for myself. I love the contrast between these old industrial buildings from the 1800s with this piece of modern architecture.
