The Tower Of London And Surrounding Skyline

The Tower Of London And Surrounding Skyline

This photograph, of The Historic Tower of London and the surrounding skyline, including the ultra modern 'Gherkin'(building shaped like a torpedo), is what came to mind when "The Winds Of Change" was suggested for the current competition.

Architecture, has evolved over centuries and skylines all across the world change constantly; some more slowly (in a gentle breeze) and others more quickly and dramatically, like the gusting of the wind.

Thanks for looking. :)

Thanks Mary, Lorraine and Carol for your comments; am glad you like it.

Mary, I thought that the building must have had another name but it doesn't. I think it's sometimes known as 'The Cucumber' too. It certainly is a wonderful piece of architecture and thanks for the extra info'. :)

An interesting architectural/skyline shot Jas, especially viewing the larger version. Enjoyed reading your description.

I was interested and curious about the name Gherkin building because of Gherkin pickles so did a google search on it and found that in December 2005, the building was voted the most admired new building in the world, in a survey of the world's largest firms of architects, as published in 2006 BD World Architecture 200.
