Please click for a better resolution... This was actually taken on September 8, because they were testing the light, but it is a reminder of one way that 911 will be remembered today. The twin beams reach up to four miles into the sky and are comprised of eighty-eight 7,000-watt xenon lightbulbs positioned into two 48-foot squares, echoing the shape and orientation of the Twin Towers. The installation can also be viewed from a 60-mile radius around lower Manhattan. By the way, this light apparently attracts and confuses migrating birds and other creatures, so at some point it is turned off for 20 minutes to "release" them. The UFO-like dots in the sky are actually approaching airplanes. Cynthia (Cindy) Crawford-Moderator, Photo & Digital Art
