Its A Tall As The Eiffel Tower & Being Built In London...

It’s been a while since I joined in. Here’s a stunner from today;



I was laying down at the time.

Vertigo?




So,
Has anyone taken one of their female friends 'up the shard' yet?

Yes. They don't sell Prosecco and the cheapest champagne is 86 quid. Great view though!

Apparently someone is climbing up the outside this morning.

He probably saw how much they charge to access the viewing decks...

I bet it's this guy.

A proper lunatic. Lord knows the strength and skill and balls you'd need to do what he does.

" Known as "the French Spider-Man" (after the comic character Spider-Man)"

Thanks Wiki. I thought it was because he often has a few pubes hanging out of his Speedos. Every day is a school day.

Apparently no ropes or sucker cups!

Don’t give up the day job.

Looks like a train to me with something behind it.

Correct! It's a train with the Shard behind it!

It's like a ghastly 21st Century homage to Terence Cuneo. Instead of finding a mouse you have to spot a 72-floor tower block.

Me and Terry C are muckers.

Excellent shot Blib. Look at it in all it’s glory.

Only a tiny bit of the Shard. My photography is not great either.

Personally I think the Shard is spectacular building of the ilk we need for the 21st century.

I’m so pleased the planners are taking a progressive approach and not trying to replicate the past.

It was Irvine Sellars dream.

Thank you.

To be honest, after all this time, I thought I'd be rusty. But, I've still got the skills to do the Shard justice.

It's like falling off a bike. You never forget how it's done.

It is classic Blib!

I wish he'd tell us what equipment he uses.
