Working in one of the ones in this picture must be a bit like being in a gold fish bowl. I do intend to try and get a photo of the Selfridges building and there may just be an opportunity to snap that pyramid later in the year ;-) They do also get dirty very quickly, I used to work in a glass and steel building.

I just saw on CNN the other day how the Tower Bridge is sporting the Olympic Rings. That would make a cool picture! :) How can you not like that!

Answer: No! – Would you like to work there, then? No. – Well, would you, at least, admit that what you see is great architecture? No. It's ugly, it's lifeless. What I do not say: A great fire might not be the worst to happen, for a change. Questions to myself:

I also like the Pyramid of glass at the Louvre, there is just something about it in comparison to the surroundings. I also like the Selfridge's building in Birmingham for the same reasons.
