Nice shot, but the building itself has a sort of disquieting "authoritarian architectural" feel to it --like there is some message hidden in the facade. Although the design is completely different, the feel of it reminds me of a building in Austin that is designed to look like an Owl.

That sure is a majestic building. I love your title.

Such magnificent architecture rising majestically into that sky; wow, great subject. From the angle taken, the composition tells me that the building is somewhat tilted. It must sit on a steep hill, yes?

@Kelela: Yea you are right, it was located on a tiny hill

Interesting yes, but you should explain the angle. If you don't answer I can understand, language issue. Tilted point of view.

@Anthony: Dear Anthony,
I have lived here in the past 10 years and completed my higher education in American institutions, so language is not an issue!
If I understand you correctly, you want to know how this picture was taken; Ok then here we go:
I park my car across the street from where this building was standing, placed my camera on a bean-bag (rice bag in this case) and pointed it toward the tower and framed it the way you see. I later processed the image in photoshop and tilted the image slightly to the left, fixed the level and added some curves for better contrsat, that's all it took.
Thanks for visiting and asking, hope that was sufficient
