A lowly gherkin

"The Gherkin" (otherwise known as "30 St Mary Axe") was built in 2001, opened in 2004 and caused quite a stir when it was announced...... It's now humbled by The Shard which dominates the skyline like Goliath staring down at a timid and feeble David (I'm using a biblical reference because this building is Biblical in it's proportions. It leaves the tower of Babel looking like a mole-hill next to The Shard's mountain of contemporary human construction endeavor).
