Last pictures of lights at ground Zero. They get turned off at 11.

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.

BB -- did you take that photo (I want an identical camera) or is it a postcard?

Cacique -- God Bless You for sharing. BTW in one photo the Chrysler Bldg. looks higher than the Empire State in all her red, white and blue glory.

I appreciate them, their pretty, but I get blood lust all over again when I see that changed sky line.

Is that white thing in photo 6 a seagull or a Duane Reade bag? Either way, pure New York.

In memory of BKO and BCM, what say you we freep this puppy and get the twin beams of light to be part of the permanent rebuilding? When they rebuild there -- if it is office space or a museum or a park -- I want those twin beams of light there in perpetuity.

For Barbara Olsen and for Battalion Chief Moran.

A scary picture, when FOX showed today a passenger plane crossing the lights! It gave me a bad feeling!
