What: The Shard Looking All Shiny in The Morning

By:

When: May 30, 2012

Where: Taken on London Bridge

Story: I’ve been meaning to post this picture for awhile now. Given that I’ve featured a lot about the Shard this week I though now was as good a time as any. This photo was taken the morning of May 30th, 2012. I’m not sure what caused the bizarre shiny reflection, but it is not photoshopped. Many other people got the exact same photo that day. Really neat to see, almost make it look like a beacon of progress.
