Optical illusion, Olaya Towers

This whole thing would appear to be the new Hyatt Regency, but it’s really three separate buildings (well, four, if you count the short one). Shot through the car windshield, so the color is a bit off. The building next to the hotel is the Olaya Towers,

Getting on the abaya bandwagon, posted earlier:

Excellent shot. I like the POV and how it towers over the rest of the scene. V

Really strikingly beautiful. I didn't think it ever got that cool (70's)! Perfect weather for walking. V

A very excellent photography, Helen! I think that no one lives there, or anyone working in that place ... BV
