    Great shot to capture old and new. The Gherkin is quite a striking building, but once again, I still love the old places more. 🙂

    It’s taking me a long time to accept all these glass buildings we are seeing around the world. Your photo has a perfect message.

    I LOVE that shot! It looks like a big retro 50’s rocketship has landed in London. Very nice composition.

    I remember my first trip to London – I was obsessed with that building for some reason. Every picture I took some how had it in it. It was so strange!

    Haha! This totally looks like a gherkin. I love gherkins. With crumbly cheddar. Nom!

    What an interesting photo. It looks like the new is growing out of the old buildings.

    Very interesting shot of the new and the old but i have to say, i really don’t like that bullet – it just stands out too much in the London skyline.

    Yep, it truly looks like somebody has pulled up a huge gherkin shaped tardis. Dr Who is in the house! LOL
