Wednesday, March 11th, 2026 at 2:05:05 PM · 2026/London
This aerial photograph captures London's famous Gherkin (30 St Mary Axe) in the middle distance, its distinctive diamond-patterned glass facade gleaming against a partly cloudy sky. In the foreground, a construction site with protective sheeting bearing the 'keltbray' branding dominates the frame, while a white construction crane extends across the upper portion of the image. The London skyline stretches across the horizon, with various buildings visible in the financial district. The composition creates an interesting juxtaposition between completed and in-progress development.
