What time does that building launch?

Wonderful composition. That is quite a mix.
Looking at that building shaped like a rocket reminds me
that I am poorly prepared for the 21st Century.

Love the lighting and tonal quality. Beautiful.

I love this architecture potpourri...

I am intrigued by the building on stilts too. Is the Truman chimney the one in Brick Lane?
You certainly have a right selection of shapes here.

Ah, part of the beloved London skyline. :)) Nice shot... I particularly like the diagonal descent going from the Gherkin to the church spire then to the little house/shed? on stilts...

Looks like a launching pad for a space shuttle !!

I've never seen The Gherkin building before inpictures. Very good selection of old and new buildings. What's that building on stilts??
Guest 28-Jan-2006 17:06
Really like the mixture of architecture.
The Gherkin is so modern. Love it.

The "crazy" mix of buildings makes a really interesting picture! This is a part of London, love it or hate it! I like your composition and the view, you selected!

Good capture of the scene. The small bldg. on stilts adds such character to the composition. The "missal-shaped" bldg. looks militaristic, and obstrusive.

Thanks for the skyline. I call it the rugby architecture. Made a lot of pics of it. It´s eye catching, but I don´t like this building at all. For me it does not fit. Like the sunlight reflection on some of the buildings here.
