Oh the English summer! A grey day, early trains cancelled, platforms crowded, commuters stressing, heads bowed, and everyone focused on their tech gadgets. The Shard however just looked stunning, seemingly designed just for such a day, the grey sky reflecting in the multi faceted facades creating a soft shimmering affect that almost blended into the clouds. Several hours later the sky had brightened and the reflections hardened and this grey beauty had gone. It looked for a while as if a window cleaning gantry was coming out but then thought better of it.
