"20 Fenchurch Street is a commercial skyscraper in London that takes its name from its address on Fenchurch Street, in the historic City of London financial district. It has been nicknamed 'The Walkie-Talkie' because of its distinctive shape. Construction was completed in spring 2014, and the three-floor 'sky garden' was opened in January 2015.

The Sunday Challenge: Either shoot something in a comics style or edit the picture to make it look like comics. Or do it in a pop-art style. Or just shoot anything that is familiar from cartoons: a Disney character, a toy etc. Or make a caricature out of something. I had an old shot of Cinderella Castle in Disney World that was obscured by people and a large street light. I posterized the edges, burned out the people and converted the street light into a moon.
