[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
From this angle, the 3 buildings of the "Azrieli Center" (circular, square and triangular), seem to be together, with no gaps between them.

I was tempted to do a crop of "windows only", but then I found I needed to leave that open space on the left, for depth, scale and a bit of color.

Taken from a building with restricted access, I happened to have a meeting there, so I took a small camera. It was taken, of course, thru the window, which as you can see was not completely clean, hopefully it adds some interest to the view, or probably it may look as a small vanishing cloud out there.

I didn't count the windows, it's just a rough estimate... will you check it?

I would say 6756 windows. Can you confirm that? Beautiful perspective and Merry Christmas Daniel.

Hey daniel,

Well, that`s a unique perspective. An engaging photo. Just perfectly sharp. And there is enough of background too.

Regarding the windows:

Circular tower:
- Each floor of the Circular Tower has 84 windows meaning the tower has a total of 8,000 windows.
(wikipedia)

Triangular tower:
- There are 114 windows on every floor, with a total number of 15,000 windows in the tower.
(emporis)

Central Square tower:
- Each floor is surrounded by 96 windows.
(emporis), having 42 floors, that amounts to 4032.

Hence 4032 + 15,000 + 8,000 = 31,079 windows on all three towers. :D

So I think that 7,500 in the picture may be a good assessment.

You didnt really think anyone would get into it right? :D

Incredible perspective. Superb photo.
Regards.

i would not want to be the window cleaner there..*g*
excellent shot of my favorite towers, daniel! :-) the tight crop is very good and keeping some space on the left even better.
terrific idea & cannot wait to get back there, thor.

i won't check this out, either but all rught - looks really impressive...can you imagine being one of those people working in this building, packed into that gigant "tin of fish"...? how many people jump from the windows in despair?...:-))
bw, j.

i ve checked the azrieli towers theme and seen how they really look like... this is quite a depressing pov, i wouldnt want to be working either in these towers or in the one you were at, looking at the towers all day long...

may 2008 be a better year for you daniel...

cheers
