The Dome Exposed
The dome at the Alberta legislature grounds has been covered for over a year and recently I noticed that it is exposed again. Apparently the workers took out the stones to examine for cracks and damage, then put them in place again.I think it was sand-blasted as well. What I saw for the first time was the copper lining, it was previously black.There is a crane to the left, which leaves its shadow across the surface. I look forward to taking photos without the covering but wonder if I bothered to take photos with the covering on? Ha, think I should have.
They did a nice job. That was done on our city hall too. Nice photo against the blue sky. Here, rain and more rain, but better than snow.

/when the wind blows so does the dust-horrible when you have asthma-hoping for rain to cleanse and make things green.

Sure looks nice and restored. I think there are too many pictures we should have taken, but we can go around and think about that…

I remember thinking that it wasn’t worth taking a photo of but seems that I was mistaken.I missed the chance to record history. Live and Learn.
