Thames Gateway

@lisa v: thanks Lisa, yea I like the water effect, I had to put about 3 neutral density filters on the camera to make it dark enough for the daytime long exposure.
The bullet building (hmm) is the multi-award winning 30 St Mary's Axe, sometimes called the gherkin (for obvious reasons) http://www.30stmaryaxe.com/index2.asp, designed by Foster and partners.

@lisa v: Yep Lisa I think it's pretty amazing. Mind you I can see where your coming from as far as it "fitting in", there are some very imposing, new buildings planned for the area, so I think it'll become more "at home" in the future. You're not wrong, It'd fit right into the Dubai skyline.
