Mirrors ....

... on the outside:


This top building is right on London Bridge - and you can see the Gherkin reflected to the back right, one of London's most famous (and favourite) buildings now, designed by Norman Foster.




The other photos here are of a much earlier Norman Foster building - the Willis Faber & Dumas building in Ipswich, Suffolk.

I haven't been to London since 1985. The Gherkin bldg. What a great nickname. Much has changed and I'm sure I'd enjoy it all. Your photos are wonderful, especially the first one.
