It is very hard to complain about coming in at 6:30am when greeted with this beauty!This morning I saw the colors and thought: really, how long would it take to hop on the elevator to the parking garage's 7th floor and take it all in? I timed it - less than 10 minutes. Bonus: no one else is around on the top floor at that hour to wonder why this resident, blue coat, stethescope, brown bag lunch and all was whipping out of her bag not a PDA but a camera.
Although, looking out over the deck - maybe they wouldn't wonder.
Lunch break actually existed today, so another spontaneous 10 minute detour through a different parking deck (that I formerly was unaware existed) lead to this view.... the Illinois River valley with the Cathedral in the foreground. Many hospital lobbey windows face this direction (east), so I love watching the color and light on the river and steeples. Rarely do I have time to capture it, though!
OSF St. Francis Hospital from the back, the graceful older buildings. As you can see from all the views we are quite up on a hill overlooking the city of Peoria and the valley.... Someday I'll get someone on the top floor open a window and let me capture that prospect!
As long as there are windows, even the longest days have pockets of brightness.
