This is the copper dome of the Basilica of St. Adelbert in Grand Rapids, MI. Like pennies, when it was new it was the typically orange and shiny color one associates with copper. As it weathers it turns this lovely shade of brown before eventually turning green, just like the Statue of Liberty. I would love to have seen the Statue of Liberty while it was still that fresh copper color, that would have been magnificent!
We are just a few weeks away from spring here now, and although the winter has been particularly mild this year I am still awaiting its departure very eagerly. I am getting to an age where I do not appreciate winter as much as I used to, I suppose.
Until next month, Cheers!
