It's symmetry Jim, but not as we know it

            Please pardon the Star Trek reference but it seemed appropriate (in an architectural kind of way). I know some of you will remember the original Star Trek series (obviously not me as I'm waaaaay too young for that) and "Bones" McCoy with his memorable extremely animated quotes. Apparently, and I've done the research, he never did say "It's life Jim, but not as we know it" although Spock did say something similar (but with a lot less emotion! :)). 

Anyhow, what about this building? A new build in the more residential east side of Canary Wharf, completed on the outside but not on the inside from what I could gather (I saw workmen inside). I think that asymmetrical line near the top might be a balcony but couldn't say for sure. I love the look of it with the blueish tinted glass in the windows. I did bring up the blues a little so I hope you'll forgive me for that. At least I didn't put an AI generated zebra in one of the windows!

I'm going to be away from Flickr for a few days as I visit deepest darkest France (golf clubs in hand) so will be off line till next week. Take care everyone.
