Artist's Comments

This is the first instalment of an occasional series I've been contemplating for a while of the iconic buildings of London.
I really like this one because it is a great example of what I love about London. The juxtaposition of extremely diverse architectural styles & eras.
:)
The one that looks like a spaceship is the Swiss Re Tower, designed by Sir Norman Foster & affectionately nicknamed 'The Gherkin'.

wow! what an ACE photo! i like the random blue sign! and how the buildings contrast! just amazing!! :heart:
:iconbaptizeddrown:
I remember the spaceship. I always thought of it as a bullet, but really, it's a UFO. I dig the juxtaposition (perfect description by the way! modern vs semi ancient)

ARG!!!!!!! That's bloody awesome man. Very cool shot. The contrast (between the two buildings) is slowly driving me insane.
:iconsamurai23:
No, I'm not from Earth & this is my spaceship!! :D

Thanks for your lovely comments!

How splendid--and what a very ODD juxtaposition of styles!!! :D Excellent choice of subject--and wonderful capture and perspective! :D
