Skywatch Friday

Within the next four years or so this skyline will change drastically. This photo was taken on the property of Woodstock General Hospital (WGH) looking west with the Finkle Building on the right and the main hospital building on the left. WGH has been located on this site (in one form or another) for over 100 years. Construction has now started on the new WGH which will be located on Athlone Avenue, near Highway 401, and is scheduled to open in approximatelythese the hospital buildings are demolished.
This photo taken at 7:50 am this morning, was taken shooting east from my office window. Happy Friday everyone.

    It's good that you have a photo to document what it looks like NOW before all the changes. ;-) Happy Sky Watch!

    Your sky looks like how mine felt today. Dense and socked in. Lovely colors in the foreground. Beautiful picture.

    It is always sad to see old buildings being torn down, good thing you are photographing them before it is to late.
