A view of The Shard, a newly-constructed high-rise building in London, seen through an outdoor art installation, Tuesday, Jan. 17, 2012. Passengers stepping out of London Bridge station cannot help but crane their necks to gaze at the jagged tower under construction: The Shard is the tallest building in the European Union and looks like a slice of glass balanced on the edge of the financial district. When the tower opens next year, visitors to the observation deck will see helicopters fly by at eye level and take in the metropolis all the way to the distant north Downs Hills. The structure designed by renowned Italian architect Renzo Piano dwarfs nearby landmarks like Tower Bridge and St. Paul's Cathedral . (AP Photo/Lefteris Pitarakis) menos
