It was extremely hot today, so I picked a shady route that wound through Mountain Brook and then on over to Red Mountain and then back up Shades Mountain. I was inspired to take pictures of Brookwood Medical Center, where we had just taken Josiah home from the hospital. Then I realized that I would also be able to take pictures of Montclair Hospital, where I was born almost 30 years ago, Mount Royals Towers, where my grandmother currently lives, and Samford University, where I currently work. It was a wonderful ride even with the heat!<\/p>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<table>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/family\/102.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" border=\"1\" \/><br \/>Note the 102 degree temp and 19 mph current speed.<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/family\/samspot.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" border=\"1\" \/><br \/>This is the view of Samford from standing in the same spot where I took the picture above of Montclair and Brookwood.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/family\/montmount.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" border=\"1\" \/><br \/>Here is a picture of Mount Royal Towers (foreground), where grandma lives, and Montclair Hospital (background), where I was born.<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/family\/brooksam.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" border=\"1\" \/><br \/>While still standing in the same spot as the picture to the left, I took this picture of Brookwood and Samford.
