It's odd, isn't it. The perspective is not quite right - of the architecture, the window on the right, specifically.
It has a classic geometric structure though: The telephone pole on the right defines a square in the left side of the pictorial rectangle. The diagonal of that square is the width of the picture rectangle. This is classic late medieval and early renaissance composition. I didn't do it on purpose, but I see that I often unconsciously fall into this kind of compositional formula. The proportion is 1:1.414, sometimes called "the square root of 2". It gives a sense of order even in a chaotic composition like this one.
The telephoto makes the wires look like web. This picture looks like a set of buildings painted by Giotto with the seemingly wacko perspective and arbitrary placements. I love mediæval art.
