The crane in the picture
I still have no idea how they are going to get it down once it's disassembled it's self to the minimum level. Maybe one of those street based super cranes?

They've built a little platform sticking out the side, near the top, on which they will build a smaller crane. Once the big crane has disassembled itself as much as it can, the smaller crane will lower the last parts of the big crane down. Once that's done, the BMU (building maintenance unit - the little crane on the very top that's used to dangle the window cleaners) will lower the parts of the little crane.

It's kind of like The Old Woman Who Swallowed a Fly, in reverse.

It looks well sinister from the northwest under an overcast sky:
Looks like Perdido Street Station
Sorry about the iPhone pic.

How inconsiderate of those branches blocking your view
Used to be able to see Canary Wharf clearly but now trees have blocked view

It's grim up north (London)
There was some weird s**t light happening when I popped out at lunch time today.
Dark clouds directly above and to the south, but a fair sized break in the clouds to the north was allowing light to reflect back off their sides, reversing the normal expectation this side of the equator that daylight comes from the south.
Then we got a small window of sunlight peeking through from the south and the south side of the Shard was picked out by the bright clouds in reflection like a bright silver scalpel blade.
Everything went a bit Frank Miller for a few minutes

It's looking weird at the moment as there's a red light that's not on the building. I decided earlier maybe it's on the end of the crane

It's looking nice and shiny on one side in your picture there cyber

Was never protruding that far out though, so it makes the building look like it's lopsided at the top

I'd love to do that (but with my eyes shut and wearing a parachute with a very very deep and wide enormous bouncy castle underneath me)

Enjoying your pics of the latest grand pyramid. What is it for again?

Yeah, a Shangri La hotel. I was in one of those in Malaysia. They had loads of parrots in cages on the roof. I reckon they should have a load of parrots at the top of the Shard
Or we could relocate London's parakeets there rather than killing them

Well I quite like it whether it bumblefucks your mind with beams or not. Wouldn't go down too well in Wakefield mind you
