I just don't see the hackneyed argument bit but you can obviously read more in this than I can. |

Crosses and soldiers and/or swords and vicars or vice versa - a hackneyed argument but undoubtedly valid I am sure. |

If this is simply a reflection (and not something the architect planned) we're parrying back and forth about something that is not there. |

I actually thought it was an antenna. |

Looks a bit like the Shard without the the spiky bits on top. :-D |

Being an entirely rational person ( ;-) ) obviously it is the brain sorting out a random assortment of shapes and reflections into something we recognise, either a cross or a sword ...by the same token the shapes on my curtains when pulled back in a certain way can be seen as a lady in a large floral hat :-) |

Here is the same view during topping out ... no cross. |

I think the cross is only there because all the lights on the hilt floor(s) are on and all the lights in the centre of that plane on most floors are on. There are one or two extra lights that are on. |

I just found it interesting, that's all. |

It is very interesting. During the design there was a lot of pressure for a large and visible cross at the top. This was denied on the grounds that it would have been un-American. |
