You're right with the 'scaffolding' ! Come to Frankfurt and you can see more ! :-))) !

OH GEORGE !!

BEFORE I LEFT THE UK.. I WAS ABLE TO SEE THE FOOTINGS AND THE VERY BEGINNING OF "THE SHARD" FROM THE TRAIN WINDOWS IN MY COMINGS AND GOINGS.. ALL MY LIFE I HAVE HAD A FASCINATION WITH SKYSCRAPERS. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE "SHARD" FINISHED !

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, PAM. ALTHOUGH WE SAW "THE SHARD", I DIDN'T GET ANY IMAGES OF IT. I DO HAVE SOME OTHER SHOTS FROM LONDON THOUGH.

I know the feeling, George. Adrian belongs to a group called Spoilaphoto.org.uk. If we are planning any city break he organises scaffolding and netting, preferably orange, in advance, particularly if I have expressed the wish to see a certain building, and he pays individuals to photo-bomb most other views. ;-))))

No wonder we don't have any money to go somewhere really exotic. :-)))

yes.

You were quite unlucky George. Next time better

A good start to your book ;-)) It is so annoying...it happens all the time!

Superb shot!

Scaffolding is pandemic in Europe... ;(

Si on trouve partout ces échafaudages c'est surtout pour des travaux d'entretient ou de rénovation..Vous êtes tombé peut être au mauvais moment,ceux ou celles qui viendront après auront la chance de prendre peut être de belles photos.
( mais l’idée du livre photo est intéressante).

A photo book about the "Great scaffolding of Europe" as a testimony and mirror of a society that worldwide only values outward appearances, but not what is on the inside, is a brilliant idea, George!

Funny comments, George, and the photo a comment on our society, I think.

Thanks for the visit and have a great day.

Great shot, well done.
Have a good evening.
