Trying to work out what's in focus! Perhaps it doesn't need anything in focus!

The problem (?) lies, I believe, in the pane of glass of the building you are in. Your brain processes the view and pays the distortion no notice and attends to the important matter of what is outside - and that caught your attention. The camera, on the other hand, records the most subtle modifications made by that pane of glass and provides an object lesson in 'perception'. The animate and the non animate perceive different things! If you want that effect then great. Standing in the open doorway would produce a totally different view.
Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass

Good points. I think the glass of the bus shelter adds another twist - making parts of the photo look like molten glass to me.

I didn't really plan the photo - it was just playing around with the new 1.2 lens while being stuck in the rain in a Burger King shop.
