Kaffe and the SHARD in London

 And as I finally exited reluctantly: THERE was the SHARD!

And some lovely old buildings that I took a shine to.

 Lovely detailing?

 But there it was demanding attention: I had heard of it of course but not realised where it was and how impressively high.

 until colourful pots and coned trimming brought my gaze down to earth again.

 Old warehouses a car park and new building...

 In a tunnel on the way to London Bridge station....

 Due to a sharpening of the senses you see patterns everywhere? I did.

 STRIPES!

 Intimidating gargoyles?

More later, time for some chores and some relaxing crochet before bed...
