Time for a shot of the house: corner with copper downspout.
The discoloration/patina is attractive, but it's also evidence of a problem, which is that there's a small hole up by the gutter itself. The gutter guy has been promising to come since last November. It's Hilo; I don't think he's coming anytime soon. I had a go with duct tape, but that wasn't effective because, as it turned out, there was more than one hole. I have a propane torch and maybe I'll try to solder it shut myself.
