Friday Photo Shoot Out: Skylines

I apologise if this week's Shoot Out is kind of lame. Confluence of circumstances. First, there's not much of interest in the way of skylines in town. Second, it was cold and wet out and the light was poor. Third, I wasn't hit with one of those creative moments that make the lack of natural material irrelevant.
Okay, there are some interesting skylines, just nowhere to photograph them from, unless you have friends with upper-story balconies facing the right way.

This is over at the university campus. Some of the worst architecture in town!
I was up there Thursday morning to teach

There's a real love of naked concrete in buildings from the 1950's through the 80's. People tell me they like the modern look of it. Until modern moved on to glass. I guess compared to the stone of previous periods, it was new and different.

This is the current skyline around my building. Changes every day!
The Cancer Center is the white building in the center and our administrative offices are in the little annex off to the right. I'm in the teeny building squeezed between them that you can't really see from here.

View from our front step. Since I took this picture on Sunday they've already covered this field of reinforcing rods with a smooth layer of concrete. (The base of the crane is just barely out of view to the left.)

Then on the other side of the whole complex, this is the skyline of the main hospital, with the med students' dorm on the left and the med school classroom & admin buildings on the right.
That's all for this week. I will be posting something next week (not least because for that topic I have plenty of great material already shot!), though possibly not on time because I'll be on my way to Paris that day and from there to California. So internet access may be difficult.
