I was pretty amazed by these photos taken from atop the Shard - which at the current state of completion is the tallest skyscraper in Europe. The stunning snaps are thanks to a plucky group of ‘urban explorers’ who (mostly) made it past security to climb a thousand feet all the way to the crane at the top.
Alongside the stunning images, the blog post’s author takes the opportunity to air a polemic against crap architecture and modern Art. Whilst I think most of us are surprised at some of the urban monstrosities that get planning permission, I am always amazed when anyone with even the most passing awareness of beauty pipes up with a blanket disdain for anything which “a five-year-old could do”.
