I suspect that ythe reason there was so little flair from the window is that 
the days were mostly overcast and the light level in the window was quite low.

  Bill, 
  Very nice picture! 
  Did you have any difficulty leaving the camera around undisturbed for that 
long a period in what seems to be a public space.  I'm also struck by the 
amount of light coming from the window and how little it seems to create a 
backlight problem in the photograph.  What kind of film did you use to be able 
to make such a long exposure?

    I glue on a filter holder with the glass broken out over the pinhole, then 
just use a lens cap for a shutter. I eyeball the   position of the camera, 
sometimes use a laser pointer for fine tuning. The situation was 'as is'. i'd 
been thinking about this image for several years. It's now the museum of the 
current hospital on the same grounds.
