Weekly Photo Challenge: Convergence

Well not sure how this fits this weeks challenge but in my mind its the meeting new and old. This was taken whilst I stood in the court-yard of the British library.  The straight modern edges are for the library whilst the elaborate structure in the back is the top of St Pancras Station which …
