Looks a bit like an UFO. Great example of modern architecture.

Very interesting. I like you POV and I like the "weathered" look. Wonder what it's like to be at the top! What a neat place to study! V

this is so fascinating! ok I see the level windows on the first couple floors but please tell me what's going on at the top where the windows are at such an angle.. that is just wide angle lens distortion correct? awesome photo!!
