It doesn't just look like a wedding cake...

2009.09.30

Ok, nothing as bloodthirsty as yesterday.

This is St. Bride's, just off Fleet Street. It was designed by Sir Christoper Wren and built after the Great Fire of 1666 destroyed most of central London.

The spire is supposed to be the inspiration for the multi-tiered design common for wedding cakes.

I'm sure Chris would have been thrilled!

redro It looks so melancholic in this light, I like it against the whitish sky.

Wedding cakes are hideous, if they would be half beautiful like this building I would maybe also start liking them....
I like the building but they should have put a groom and bride - I almost wrote 'a broom and gride' :) - on top of it instead ;)

girafferacing Lovely capture. It's shame it doesn't have a bit more space to breathe really - it looks a bit hemmed in between the other buildings. I wonder which was there first?!

cariad I actually like the sense of it reaching beyond the more humble buildings around it....:)
