Description
The Shard is one of the newest and modern buildings in London. It is situated on the South Bank. I am standing at the entrance to the very popular Borough Market with the Shard just about one block away. The building houses offices, restaurants and hotel rooms.

The clash of modernity & tradition - you've captured it very effectively in this image, Carin...

I usually like modern buildings, but I too hate this one!

Good heavens! That is the tallest metronome I ever did see! A multitude of geometric patterns in this one for sure, and I like the varied colors throughout. but what a somber environment. Didn't the sun shine at all when you were there?

Oh, my. What if a window at the top breaks? Crash, crash, crash all the way down! Interesting photo. Reminds me of the TransAmerica building in San Francisco. Keep up the good work. Nice with all these interesting London photos. :-)

strong contrasts of old and new, glass and brick, and muted glass tones with reds and bright whites in the brick structures. Big cities create such abstract juxtapositions, don't they...You brought out the whites here brilliantly. And the dull green tint of the front-most structure is such a contrast. I also like the front people in near-black. A real modern city capture, with the hues and contrasts so typical of urban 'collision'---esp in an old city like London.
