Angles on The Shard

shard
“a piece of broken ceramic, metal, glass, or rock, typically having sharp edges”

The Shard , sometimes described as a “shard of glass”, is a 95-storey skyscraper in Southwark, London, that forms part of the London Bridge Quarter development.

These photos were taken in September 2015 and May 2017. An evolving scientist has been exploring parts of London where some of his ancestors lived in the late 19th and early 20th century.  The Shard attracts attention as a landmark, and a potential subject for photographs.


This post is dedicated to all those who have suffered, and are still suffering, as a result of events on and around London Bridge on 3rd June 2017.

Weekly Photo Challenge : Solitude

“Solitude is the place of purification.” — Martin Buber. This quotation is shared by the folk at the Daily Post, to stimulate the search for photos that represent solitude in some way.

The Australian and New Zealand coastlines (and interior) offer many places that meet Martin Buber’s criterion, with awe inspiring scenery and peaceful vistas, that liberate the mind from the pressures of modern life.

This week’s challenge, and many responses thereto, will be found here
