Millennium Dome

Posted by
Don Levesque (Saint John, Canada) on 9 February 2011 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.

The copper dome and spire were the distinguishing features of the Saint John General Hospital.

Opened in 1931, the hospital stood as a familiar landmark at the top of Waterloo Street until 1995.

I will post more pics and info at a later date.

Superb shot, Don! Love the framing and detail you get on this beautiful reflective dome.

@Stephen: Thanks Stephen!

It seems a bit out of place in this setting Don! A beautifully framed and composed shot nonetheless! Well done! ;-)

@Eric Cousineau: The dome is about 100 metres from where the old hospital stood until 1995. The dome stood at the highest part of the building.

this object looks so strange in that landscape, so unreal cause it`s (I think) copper roof!
alltogether a beautifull contrast and impressive view!

An interesting landmark and I look forward to the rest of the story. Love the gleeming copper against the blue sky.

@Georgie: I'm waiting until spring, once the snow is gone and I can get a better foothold to capture a better view of the dome.

Franz from Baden, Austria

very nice look at the city through this fascinating structure!

@Franz: I plan on doing something in the spring around this structure, photos and history of the dome.

Andrea from Regina, Canada

And then they covered the hospital with snow except for the dome? Nice composition and colour.
