In All Its Architecture Glory –The Loma Linda University Health Campus: A Wide Angle View
These spectacularly, beautiful chamber of commerce days (October 22 and 23, 2019) beckoned me to pack my GoPro Hero7 Black camera so that I would have it when visiting the site. The cloudless azure skies provided a perfect backdrop for the intended subject: the Loma Linda University Health campus. The wide-angle shots provide a perspective of how massive the new towers are compared to the iconic clover-leaf towers of the late 1960s.
The towers glisten in the morning sun. The images were taken from the Anderson Street construction entrance.The east elevation that parallels Anderson Street. the construction service road is in the foreground.

Perhaps where this photo was taken is the farthest point that is related to the construction of the new hospital towers. Where I stood was the northeast corner of the emergency generator plant site, which is located on the corner of Taylor Street and Taylor Court. If, when, or should the power go out in the new towers, the emergency generators will automatically generate power to the hospitals. The windowless building, center-right is the power plant, which was recently upgraded for this project.Towers, Mountains, and Palm Trees.Azure Skies and glistening towers as viewed from the southeast corner at the corner of Barton Road and Anderson Street.The South Elevation highlighting the Children’s Hospital tower.
