Shibboleth

Cracking art!

This 167-metre long crack in the floor of Tate Modern's Turbine Hall is not a work of 'cowboy builders' but rather an unusual creation of Colombian artist Doris Salcedo. It represents racial hatred and divisions within society.

Opened seven weeks ago, it claimed 15 victims already, due to the width of the crack that is in some places big enough for a foot or a small child to fall inside.

Tate Modern is currently considering extra measures to prevent potential injuries in the future. Exhibition closes on 6th of April next year.

After 2 very very long weeks in the sun and 150+ pictures of breathtaking views, I couldn't wait to land and shoot London again (I would have taken picture from the plane if it wasn't for a fog)... and this is the result!

Beautiful, isn't it?

Silence of Big Ben: due to the maintenance of the most famous London landmark, the Great Bell (real name Big Ben) stopped its chimes today for the first time since 1990 and will remain silent for up to 6 weeks.
