Waterloo and Shard

Another for my get Pushed (Architecture) challenge this week.

Here you can see a rather grand covered walkway leading to the platforms at London Waterloo East station (built in 1869), beyond which on the skyline is The Shard (completed 2012).

Really like the modernity of the Shard against the walkway.

[Caterina]

Interesting building. Nice composition and DOF

[Phil Cameron]

Nice to see the old steel work integrated with the new

[Suzanne]

A great leading line, I am trying to figure out if you risked life and limb to get this shot

[FBailey]

Very strong lines. Tried to take the Shard from the train last week but failed

[Peter H]

@suzanne234 Suzanne, more scary than that, I risked my phone!!

[Suzanne]

@peadar Hehe, now that would be catastrophic,

[Nicole Campbell]

I used to catch trains from Waterloo station all the time when I lived in London

[Babs]

I love the leading lines of the rail lines and walkway.

Great photo Peter, I like the lines. I also like that the Shard is featured in it ; my new favourite building!

@angiedanielle24 Yes, I saw that you stayed there recently. Lucky you!
