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.

hasslehoff: abstract to the max

re: the gherkin
yeh, that's pretty funky! ive never seen the gherkin up close or inside, tho i see it constnatly from my street, like in the distance.. i like buildings that you can sometimes have long-distance comfort based relationships with tho. Random

What? you lot are wierd.
The Swiss Re isn't "funky", its elegant with sinous and curving form that makes it iconic, and at the same time its an amazing piece of engineering.
