Excellent shot Tony. I’ve seen plenty of images of this building but you have captured something different & interesting..& a funny title. :)

This shot was taken on Lime Street, next to the Lloyds of London insurance building (on the left). I've been umming and ahhing about this hsot for a while now. Then I decieded that the very nature of the shot made it different.

It is the unusual that makes a well photographed site stand out. Your comments help me understand that.

Cheers, Tony

Huge gherkin, isn't it. Fine capture, Tony giving a good impression of this narrow city. Have visited London several times, the first stay was in 1960!!, during school holidays I had the opportunity to live at a host family near Wembley. My foto series "London 1960" taken with a quite primitive camera I have scanned and uploaded just recently.

Best wishes from Hamburg

It certainly is a landmark building, Volker.

I shall take a look at your series soon.

Hello Tony, upon your above "London" photo I looked for similar sqeezing situations. Took this picture beginning of November, showing an old church tower between modern office buildings in "Harbour City" of Hamburg.

Season's Greetings and best wishes for 2009 from Hamburg
