Well now, that's impressive! I'm guessing that the lights are located at or near Ground Zero? How long are they to be lit or was it for only a short time already? Quite a fitting tribute, simple yet a powerful statement.

I think this Image shows the 2 Lights a little bit better.




Simply Amazing.

They are inspirational but it will be hard to see them turned off after the month is over.

Is there some reason or symbolism behind the length of time they'll be on? I don't know whether or not they'll be turned off, we'll see what may be planned (ceremony-wise) at that time. Might be more appropriate to keep them lit until September 11th, and turn them off at midnight that night, symbolizing the end of a year of mourning.

I don't know if anyone else saw/thought this but their seemed to be some fog around the place above the tops of the World Financial Center, and I imagined the spirits of the people killed rising up to finish the work they began on 9/11 before they finally rested.

I've never been to NYC, but would pollution be a factor in how far you could see it? I know it would in LA (my husband's from CA), but I don't know about the northeast. The photos, however, show it as fairly clear and beautiful. But then again, it could be reflecting off the pollution too, like headlights in fog.
