The most shardiest time of the year

My favourite thing in the whole world, the Shard, became the tallest building in London today, and it is only partially built. Suck on that, 1 Canada Water, title-holder for the past 20 years. I learned about this via the twitter account @skyscrapernews. That's a thing.

There used to be this beyond amazing display of children's Shard-inspired artwork at its base by London Bridge Tube Station, in theory based on what the building would look like when completed. In a solemn reminder to take opportunities when they come to us lest we miss out on something GLORIOUS, I did not take any photos of the child's drawing that turned the Shard into a giant super hero, or the ones that gave it weird spirals, or the one of it poking the moon in the face. Tragique.

To supplement, here is some artwork of my own. Family and friends should look forward to receiving these beauties in their imaginary mailboxes shortly. Merry Shardmas everyone!
