Clouds float into St. Pancras

[Bungle73]

A giant 15 metre cloud installation has been unveiled at St Pancras International station in London.

The work, created by husband and wife team Lucy and Jorge Orta, has been placed above the station's Grand Terrace.

Cloud: Meteoros is the first artwork in a series of "Terrace Wires" pieces commissioned by HS1 Ltd for the space - which was home to the Olympic rings last summer.

Interesting. I like it.

I was hoping that the station canopy had developed its own microclimate

Reminds me of The Cloud Miners

Water-themed art seems to be de rigueur this year

I was thinking the same.

Perhaps the artists don't either... Whilst it may look aesthetic who thought it a good idea to stick it in front of the clock? Though it may just be the angle of the photo - and the view of the clock may remain unobstructed. :roll:

If the conditions are right, it will snow *inside* the 'glass box' entrance opposite King's Cross

They're where the Rings were.

Great stuff (sarc). If only they could fix the leaks in the extension roof so it doesn't resemble the Atlantic Ocean on the platform every time it rains...

It isn't the first time this has been done. (From 3 min 50 sec onwards)
