Michael Boyle’s weblog

When the Pope died, the cross atop Mont-Royal was lit with purple lights. I’m not sure, but I think it will stay that way until a new Pope is elected. The Montreal Metroblogging page has an even better photo from a closer vantage point.

Hello,
The cross on Mont Royal looks red to me now. Did they change the color to red from blue a few days ago?
I understand, the city of Montreal spent $300,000 on this laser system back in 1992 for the day the pope dies. Why? Why blue? Why red? What is next green?
Could you please post your Mont-Royal Purple cross at the above link.

Hi Tom,
Note that that isn’t my photo – I blogged it from Flickr. You can find that person by clicking on the photo itself.
Paul, I’m not sure about the colour changes now. I have only seen it in purple, but I know it looked slightly different with some clouds obscuring the view from here.
