Friday, September 11, 2009
I was at a gallery in Chelsea last night and when we went out side, the architect I was chatting with, pointed to the sky and said, "Look! The lights are on!"
It's become a tradition in New York for 2 days to shine these 2 beautiful beams of light to honor those who died on September 11. The "Tribute in Light" is made up of 88 lights and takes a full month to install my friend told me. It was created in 2002 by artists Julian LaVerdiere and Paul Myoda, architects John Bennett and Gustavo Bonevardi of PROUN Space Studio, architect Richard Nash Gould, and lighting designer Paul Marantz and produced by the Municipal Art Society and Creative Time. The lights go on at sunset and then will fade away at dawn on September 12.If you click on the pictures or on this link you can experience a 360 degree view of these lights. It seemed like the best way I could post today was to share this tribute with you.

My architect friend, Vibeke Lichten sent me this photo she took of the Tribute Lights. Truly amazing no?
Carly Simon sang this song at the memorial service on Sept 11 and I love it so...ahem
