for which i am attacked

Yeah, I got attacked for taking this picture. Why? Because some guy was sitting on a bench below these windows and thought I was taking a picture of him. I didn't notice (as I wasn't taking a picture of him) until I had put my camera away and looked up to see him running at me. He went to kick my backpack (with the camera in it), then grabbed my hair and tossed me to the ground. Luckily, that was it. I told him I was taking pictures of the building and I could show him (for once, my Spanish didn't completely fail me when I needed it), but he just shuffled off, giving me dirty looks. I can understand people not liking their pictures taken, but attacking a guy 50 feet a way for taking a picture of a building behind you that doesn't even include you? Come on.

Anyway, I like this building. The windows are really well done. I hadn't noticed them until someone pointed them out to me. Can you tell which windows are real?
