The City: banking on better weather (98)
What's in a name. You say 20 Fenchurch Street, I say Walkie Talkie...

Custom House and the "Walkie Talkie"
The 19th century Custom House is the building to the right on the waterfront. The building is currently used by Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs.
The "Walkie-Talkie" (20 Fenchurch Street) is one of a number of spectacular new office blocks in the City of London. It has been the occasion of a spot or two of bother - reflections from the concave glass wall have caused "hot spots" which have blistered the paint of cars parked nearby, and singed the saddles of bicycles.
Beyond, from left to right are the "Cheese Grater" (Leadenhall Building) and the "Gherkin" (30 St Mary Axe) both in

View of Bosco Sodi's "Untitled x3" from Fenchurch Street
Sodi's rocks are ceramic glazes over real igneous rocks, transformed through a highly physical processes. Sodi extracted volcanic magma from the Ceboruco volcano in Mexico and selected each rock for its formal qualities, before glazing the brittle surface and firing the sculpture at extremely high temperature for three days. By altering the surface texture and the context in which the rocks exist (the streets of London, in this case), Sodi reflects on our perception of value and antiquity. He creates a mismatch between the setting and the course, and the surface and core, of each piece. Looking south-southeast.

Keep out ? demolition in progress
An office block in Philpot Lane is in the process of being demolished, requiring the assistance of this large crane which is affixed to the tower in two places. Even viewed from Botolph Lane, the next street to the south, it is not possible to photograph street level and the uppermost section of the crane at the same time.
A sign on the cordon is worded as the above title.
