Tonight is the last night that the lights emanate from ground zero in Manhattan. At 11 PM tonight they will be shut off. I decided to take some pictures of the lights on their last night so I went to the Manhattan Ferry Pier near the Brooklyn Army Terminal not too far from my house in Sunset Park. The pictures were taken between 7:51 PM and 8:22 PM this evening before the guard threw us off the pier. It turns out the pier closes at sundown. In any case, I figured I'd share my pictures with the rest of the Freepers.
The towers were gone after 9-11, now the lights are gone as well.
There was a foggy cloud overcast at high altitude, the lights diffused when they hit it.
As for the colors of the empire satate building, that was the color they were on the evening of 4-13-2002 when these shots were taken. Don't know about other days. I didn't pay much attention.
