The Shard, London, UK

 

Did you realise that The Shard in London is already 5 years old? It was inaugurated in 2012 after a 3-year construction period.

It stands 310 metres high, and it’s glass facade and pyramid shape dramatically changes the London skyline.

Renzio Piano, who designed The Shard, took inspiration from tall English Gothic churches and ship masts. With that in mind, have a look at our HD aerial footage – what do you think?

Jane Austen Remembered Bicentennial

Jane Austen Remembered

 

This year marks the 200th anniversary of Jane Austen’s death. Today she is one of the most highly celebrated English novelists – but she published anonymously and so was relatively unknown in her own lifetime.

We had a look through our HD aerial collection and found a few interesting locations that relate to her life and work….

Chatsworth Estate and House – The Pemberley Estate in the 2005 film adaptation of Pride and Prejudice starring Kiera Knightly. Chatsworth is also explicitly mentioned in Austen’s novel…

 

The Cobb at Lyme Regis – a key setting in her final novel, Persuasion. Austen visited here in real life on at least two occasions…

 

Winchester Cathedral – Jane Austen’s final resting place, and where you can visit her memorial plaque and window…

20th Anniversary of Scottish Parliament

 

In 1997 Scotland voted in favour of the creation of a devolved Scottish Parliament with its own powers within the United Kingdom. This year is the 20th anniversary of that decision.

Then began the planning and building of the Scottish Parliament Building in Holyrood, Edinburgh. Catalan architect Enric Miralles designed the striking postmodern building, which was completed in 2004.

Scottish Parliament had previously ended with the Treaty of Union between Scotland and England in 1707, creating the Parliament of Great Britain located at Westminster Palace in London.

The Scottish Parliament Building could be viewed practically and symbolically as Scottish political affairs being relocated back to Scotland. Here is a clip for our HD aerial collection of building –
