More photos of the World Trade Center memorial lights can be see on my Flickr account. In years past, it went a whole week, though due to lack of funding, the lights were shown for just a few days this year. There was even doubt that they wouldn’t be up next year, the attacks’ 10th anniversary…
Apparently the lights were shut down temporarily last night at around 11, because of the birds it attracted. Looking from a vantage point near the base of the lights, the lights stretch so high up that they could be mistaken for a futuring city, and the birds a flock of speeding, circiling aircraft.
