People don't seem unduly outraged by it...I haven't got a picture of my own of the old and new buildings, (something I'll have to get around to..) but this link has a decent view of the site.

Now that's an impressive looking structure!

Love the contrast of the copper with the blue sky

I like the curved lines in the first one, and the way the clouds echo the lines of that roof structure on the right

All in good time. A few very foggy nights and then...

It did say 'reclaimed' copper...perhaps thats how they got it in the first place....
