The Shard

A bird's eye view of progress on the Shard. It started life as London Bridge Tower, designed by Renzo Piano, the Italian architect who also designed the Pomidou Centre in Paris.
Controversial, loved by some hated by others.
It will change London's skyline, becoming the tallest building in the European Union and the 45th highest in the world.
Currently scheduled to be finished in 2012.

Old and New

St Helen's church built in the early 1200's and St Mary Axe (Gherkin) behind it, opened in 2004. The Gherkin is currently the second tallest building in London but will drop down a place after the Shard opens.
I'll show you progress on this new building soon. Do let me know what you think of it.

Lines and Shadows

Euston Square can look rather bleak and uninteresting. Not a place you would choose to wander around. Desperately hungry in search of a sandwich, I was suprised to find this rather stunning sculpture. The figure in the distance is a digital girl constantly walking.

Light and Shadows

This totem pole stands in the entrance of the British Museum. The wonderful shadows cast are courtesy of the sun through the amazing glass ceiling.
This is the perfect place to practice your photography skills with light and colour balance. You have natural light and artificial light, several shades of white. What's more you wont be thrown out or confronted about spending hours taking pictures. That's not always easy to find in London.
