Will you take pickle with that?

Regular visitor Carolyn commented yesterday "what IS that monstrosity of a bullet building?" Of course, it is the Gherkin, or theSwiss Re building to give it its proper name. It is in St Mary Axe, and it replaces the Baltic Exchange that was destroyed by an IRA bomb. It's one of my favourite buildings and has appeared many times before, I love the way it changes character with how and where you see it. You can see what I was trying to do here with the reflection and the handles, not sure it works.
