A Crane, A Helicopter, and A Window
Although I have watched the helicopters land and/or take off from either the Loma Linda University Medical Center’s north helipad or the helipad to the south above the Children’s Hospital, I never tire of watching their vertical trajectory and horizontal thrust forward. Should I have a camera in hand, I snap an image. Today was no exception, I watched the helicopter land, but I was not in a position to take a photo. I did take a shot after it landed vowing to snap a photo at takeoff. And, so I did. I was making my way through the first floor toward the Adult lobby of the new hospital when I heard the engines of the helicopter begin to whine. I whirled around and made a beeline over to one of the two narrow windows facing the entrance to the Medical Center.
This blog features the photos taken through the glass in what will be the Adult Lobby entrance just off of the Galleria. Perhaps this is the first photographs of a helicopter taken through a glass window from the new hospital.
