Goodness now that is a good shot, bit early for me to think of a comment, but so looking forward to them all from your clever folk on here.
Maybe you should do a book on unusual photos?
Hand over the money, or the Pickle gets it!
You know with this cropping, the Gherkin looks a lot like the tipple of a missile. Or alien space ship.
Mum, the whole blog is a book on unusual photographs.
Hee hee, Vanda.
As for the alien spaceship: the whole of London feels like that most days.
If you'r not careful, you could put your eye out with that thing. Even the Gherkin.
This is a fascinating photo.
Apparently London doesn't have a City Planner. I don't know if that's good or bad. I kind of like the mish-mash, running the gamut from horrible to gorgeous.
Strange grouping, fascinating photo! It reminds me of a scene out of a 1950s-era sci-fi film. Perhaps they are waiting for the Great Gherkin to open, or take off. Perhaps they are waiting, armed, for a hoard of giant ants -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Them!
I'm never careful, Speedway.
Petrea, London has very strict planning laws, but they are enforced by people who like to take bribes.
Much as I love Paris, it is a little like a specimen in a bell jar: unchanging and beautiful but a little lifeless; London, on the other hand, has spent the past thousand years continually eating itself and the results may sometimes startle or offend but they are usually worth looking at.
Good call, Ms.M. I have a great love of old Sci-Fi disaster movies.
To me, the photo looks more like a collage; something an art student might produce with no clear idea why.
