The "City of Faith" operated as a hospital and medical college in the early 1980's but quickly went bankrupt. They never graduated a doctor. It is now managed by a leasing agent and is general office space. It has never been more than 50% occupied.
It has an interesting story. You can read about it at:
Good morning Bill: well, my goodmorning, your good evening. My daughter and son-in-law fly out to Hawaii in a couple of hours to attend a wedding for a week. They have just dropped their cat off for a sleepover.
You are right about my reflection photo: it is a fountain and it is a sculpture and it dribbles water back into the pool through the hollowed rods.
This is a lovely Skywatch photo. How did I miss that yesterday. I like skies where the wind has scudded the clouds in that characteristic cotton-wool shape across the sky. Probably means it it a wee bit cold in you neck of the woods.
Enjoy you weekend and take care. Kind regards, my friend.

Love the silvery skies. Very pretty. Happy skywatching.
Very nice sky photo.
What are they using the old "City of Faith" facility for now. I know it was never completed as a hospital.
Bonjour Bill.
Quel beau ciel nuageux !
Bisous.

Hi and thanks for sharing the city and sky view!
Good morning Bill: well, my goodmorning, your good evening. My daughter and son-in-law fly out to Hawaii in a couple of hours to attend a wedding for a week. They have just dropped their cat off for a sleepover.

Enjoy you weekend and take care.
Kind regards, my friend.

Maybe we spared you our low of 4 degrees!

Kisses
Great dramaturgy - well captured!
Nice clouds! And you know how much I love these weird skies.
