London - a Glimpse of the Shard
View allAll Photos Tagged shard
Пока я стоял и ждал хорошего света, не мог избавиться от мысли, как растут на голых скалах эти сосны, чем они питаются, за что цепляются корнями. А тем временем случился очень красивый закат, яркий, оранжевый свет залил эти древние каменюки и мы бегали как сумасшедшие, пытаясь заснять их с разных точек. Вот что из этого вышло.
While I stood and waited for good light, I could not get rid of the thought of how these pines grow on bare rocks, what they eat, what they cling to with their roots. In the meantime, a very beautiful sunset happened, a bright, orange light flooded these ancient stones and we ran like crazy, trying to photograph them from different points. Here's what came out of it.
...for who is brave enough to look in the mirror,
and see their true selves reflected...

I cannot always ‘Thank’ everyone individually, for their Visits and ‘Faves’ however, I will always try to respond and thank all those that leave a ‘Comment’. If I do not reply to your 'Comment', it is not because I am ignoring you, it's because I have not seen the 'Comment'.
Your 'Comments' do not always appear in 'Notifications' or Flickr mail, so, I am sorry for any delay in responding. Often your 'Comment' is only spotted 'On the Page' on the day, that I see it. (seen ONLY when replying to someone HAS 'Commented' on the image, and I see a notification)
After temperatures went up and some rain, the ice started to break up. Waves pushed the ice further in toward the beach creating a build up of ice shards in piles near the shoreline.

The Shard ou « The London Bridge Tower » est situé sur la rive sud de la Tamise et face à la Cité de Londres.
Architecte : Renzo Piano
The Shard is a 72-storey skyscraper in Southwark, London, designed by the Italian architect Renzo Piano. Standing 309.6 metres (1,016 feet) high, the Shard is the tallest building in the United Kingdom, and the seventh-tallest building in Europe.
Completed in 2012, The Shard was the tallest building in the European Union until the UK’s departure in 2020. At 309.6 meters tall it is still the tallest building in UK. The architectural design resembles a shard of glass, hence its name.
On the second day in London I stood on Tower Bridge and tried to align the tip of The Shard and the Sun. Well, I was not so lucky, but this one is rather close.
Back home, when looking through my results I liked the strong dynamic power of the river in combination with the rather static power of The Shard.

THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT TO MY STREAM.
I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD NOT FAVE A PHOTO
WITHOUT ALSO LEAVING A COMMENT
...nein, das ist kein Selfie - kann es ja gar nicht, denn die Frau auf dem Foto hat braunes Haar ;-)
Aber eine Art Gleichnis stellt es schon dar - irgendwie sehe ich mich dort selber stehen, den Blick über den breiten Fluss hinüber auf das schöne Gebäude London Bridge No.1 und den dahinter hoch aufragenden Shard gerichtet...
Gedankenverloren - oder doch nachdenkend, erinnernd, genießend...
Wird es ein nächstes Mal geben? Wann wird es sein?
Fragen über Fragen... ;-)
Mit dieser Aufnahme verabschiede ich mich von der interessanten Metropole...
