From Lens and Pens by Sally we have the 4th Monday Challenger’s Choice (Pick One: Abstraction, Animals, Architecture, Food Photography, Night Photography, Objects, Portraiture, Still Life, Street Photography, and Travel). (Animals and Objects are themes.)
HEALTH CENTRAL HOSPITAL
Ocoee, FL
The photos below were all taken facing the west side of the hospital. The next time I’m over that way and have more time, I hope to take more pictures from different sides and angles. It is, to say the least, an interesting piece of architecture.
These pictures were taken on a bright sunny day with my iPhone5. I’m hoping that one of these days iPhone or some phone company will come up with a way that you can actually see the screen in daylight and have a clue of what kind of picture your’re taking with your camera phone. Until then, it’s hit and miss on almost all my outdoor shots!
In a nationwide contest Health Central Hospital was named the 7th Most Beautiful Hospital in America.
You can’t miss this building’s iconic “big red wedge” built as part of a 1993 structure that replaced the original 1952 facility. The current 440,000 square-foot, 171-bed acute care hospital and physicians’ offices include a recently updated 34-bed emergency center. HKS was the architect and interior designer.

Linda, I think my favorite’s the last one. The angles, colors and reflections all work together so well in it.

It’s my favorite, too! I was surprised, though, by the sun creeping over the roof in the second one! I knew I was blinded by the light! (Yes, that song just went through my head, too!) 😉
That is one intense looking hospital. Wow. I have never seen archetecture like this. Thank you for sharing this, Linda!
Love and lots of HUGS, Amy
I was the same way when I first saw it back in the 90s. It’s definitely different! But it grows on ya! Hugs! 🙂
Love the sharp edges and the reflected colors. Not an easy shot – well done.
Thanks, Dawn. Your comment is very much appreciated! 🙂

Great phonography, Linda! I like the architecture of the hospital. The last one is my favoriate.
Thanks so much, Amy!
I can see why this hospital won the award. But your photo needs an award, too. Excellent job capturing the size of the building, reflection of sun, etc. !!!
Thanks so much, Rusha! I’m repeating myself but I feel lucky any of my shots turned out at all since I can’t see the screen on my phone in the daylight! 😀
[…] Week #12 of A Lingering Look at Windows! Earlier I posted some pictures I had taken of Health Central Hospital in Ocoee, FL. For Dawn’s challenge I’ve chosen some pictures I took from a different […]
Loved them all Linda !!! Remarkable architectural images,perfect angles and upward perspective ~~~~~~♥
Thank you, my friend! Hugs! 🙂
This reminds me of Frank Gehry’s Walt Disney Concert Hall. 😉
Wow! I had to go look it up. Talk about amazing and unique architecture! I can see the resemblance! 😎
I agree with you on taking photos outside in the sun…you don’t know what you’re actually getting because you can’t see the screen. I find that so annoying. Surely there must be a way to fix that.
I bet there is. I just haven’t taken the time to search it out! It is definitely annoying, though! 😉
