Over the years, during my visits to London, I've documented the construction of the skyscraper known as The Shard. From the
appearance above its neighbours of its services core, to its growth to a prominent
skyline "under construction" feature, to its
completion as a constantly changing, well-named tower, I've regularly added to my stock of photographs of the building. I've photographed it
at night, from the
streets, in
low cloud, from
below etc. But one view I hadn't got until my recent visit is a shot from below taken at night. The need to use London Bridge Railway station to travel to Blackheath put me in the right position for the photograph above.
