"Shard of light: London's 1,000ft tower"
Looks like the Brits have some building ideas of their own...
Nick Enoch writes about it in the U.K. Daily Mail and provides some great photos:
"Towering over London's houses like a scene from a sci-fi film, the Shard dazzled today as beams of light reflected off its surface. Europe's tallest building stands at 310 metres (1,016ft) and is fully clad in glass - so the sun's rays on a cloudless day give it the appearance of a shining beacon. The Shard, which is due to be completed by July, will have 95 floors and be tipped with a gleaming spire."
