Yesterday morning I looked at my Twitter feed as I got into work to find that I had missed a spectacular sight. As the City of London was covered in a haze of humid light the sun had aligned in such a way that it bounced off London's newest landmark The Shard.
"Did the Shard architects plan this for hazy, sunny mornings? If so they are geniuses." Tweeted @HawksmoorLondon.
And what a sight it would have been had I not been on a train heading directly west away from it. Luckily Twitter came to the rescue (
much like it did during the London Mist) and here's some of the best photos I found of the phenomena which I'm looking forward to seeing each year. Thank you architects of The Shard.
Check out some of my favourites below. The photo above is by

They look great- but much as I love Instagram I can't help feeling that the addition of filters etc makes this look a bit unreal- how much of the image is Shard magic and how much is pixel magic?
Very true, someone I know commented on one of the photos on FB: "If that was shown in a film I'd call it a dodgy visual effect..."
I think it's a case where photographs really don't do it justice and to experience it in real life is completely different.
