I confess to having a bit of a "thing" for the Gherkin, the building on the left of the picture. My friends don't understand me, but I have a feeling that some people here would.

The official name of the Gherkin is the "Swiss Re tower" after the Swiss bank that owns it.
The picture was taken on Thursday last week from the landing of the top floor of my office.

Banksy says (or writes, rather, I don't know him, don't get excited, it's not a village) it was an easy one because the polis here wear peaked caps thus preventing them from looking up! this is...

 There seems to be a fair amount of interest in Banksy's Designated Picnic Area stencils lately. Here's a nice one from London...

Just a close-up detail of the "Gherkin", as you guys really seemed to like the last series of it. I love how abstract and fragmented it looks from up-close.
