The Shard: Plane lucky - a photo on Flickriver

The Shard: Plane lucky

            Sometimes chance intervenes…

Keeping my eyes open for a photographic opportunity, I spotted this juxtaposition of The Shard and The Moon on my way to the station this evening. 

Lined it up, and was surprised by a plane flying into the viewfinder at quite a lick.

Opening it on the computer, I was praying I hadn't shaken the camera in my eagerness to hit the shutter at the right moment. Fortunately, I had got away with it :-)
