Tribute in Lights
previous / next (9-16-09)On Friday evening Mark and I met up with Mary Brooks Brown and her friend Charity at Liberty State Park to see if we could get some shots of the annual 9-11 Tribute in Lghts. It was a rainy windy nasty evening so we took a little car-tour of Jersey City and Hoboken while waiting for the rain to let up and the fog and low cloud deck to lift a little before heading back to Liberty State Park to get the shots of the Tribute in Lights.
It was super to finally meet Mary and her friend Charity. They made a long trip to come see the lights and I was very worried that they would be disappointed because of the nasty weather. But when the cloud deck lifted a bit we witnessed a very eerily beautiful sight. The memorial is breathtaking and touching and the wind whistling through the buildings made the sound of anguished wailing in the night.

Wow, fantastic lihgts. Great city panorama.
I agree. This is an excellent night shot with fantastic lighting.
i admire your dedication to get this shot.. my friend (who is also a photo enthusiast) wasn't able to capture this event because of the weather.. this looks really beautiful.. great work.. :)
@Rian...Thanks. My dedication was nothing compared to Mary's...she drove a couple of hours to get here, and then a couple of hours home. It was late, after 10PM when we left, and the rain really picked up as we left.
I didn't realize this was done. Worth waiting for, it's a remarkable image.
Very appropriate.
this is truly amazing!!!
You had the perfect spot for this spectacular photo Laurie. Never seen anything like this before.
