Views of London- The Gherkin



The Gherkin, or the Swiss Ree Tower, whatever you call it, is quite a unique sight. I'd been waiting ages to get a good glimpse of this mysterious building, yet as it is designed to be unobtrusive, it always seems to be hiding behind something near it, so it's as if the closer you get, the further away it seems. I managed to find this angle, though, which also shows how it fits in with much older buildings. What I like about it is that unlike so many unoriginal modern buildings, it's an experience to behold.
