A wide street in the City of London financial district is photographed from a low angle, creating strong leading lines that draw the eye toward the distinctive diamond-lattice Gherkin tower (30 St Mary Axe) at the end of the corridor. Modern curtain-wall glass office buildings flank both sides of the nearly empty road, while a colorful abstract sculpture featuring looping yellow, blue, and red forms stands on the right pavement. The scene is captured under diffuse overcast light that produces a high-key, slightly blown-out sky, with a mix of contemporary glass facades and older brick buildings visible in the mid-ground.
