Our Lady of the Rosary church on Esplanade Avenue finished re-coppering the dome on the top of the church this month. I remembered having taken a photo in 2004 of the church when the dome was green:

I always have mixed emotions when a building gets its exterior copper "cleaned up." There's the part of me that loves seeing the new-ness of it, imagining what the building was like when it was first constructed. Still, when something you've seen as green all your life is all of a sudden much darker, it's an odd sensation.
