TRIBUTE IN LIGHTS

Twin beams shoot into the sky, a reminder of what once was. Easy enough to hop on my bike and head to Brooklyn Bridge Park. Silly me, I wasn’t expecting a huge crowd of lenses, all aimed at the beams. I wonder how many people in the scrum remember the day, and how many are here to check that bucket-list shot. Balancing my camera on a rock I take my image and quickly leave. Later, over drinks, the topic inevitably comes up, as it does every year. Where were you? 

I’ve learned so much about it since moving to New York. Did you know around half a million people were evacuated from lower Manhattan in about 9 hours by a collection of tugs, yachts, ferries, and anyone else with a boat who could help? They moved more people than the 1940 evacuation of Allied troops from France.

Yet the lights are not without their own fraught story. The lights are a beacon to birds as well, who are disoriented by the pillars of light.  Volunteers from NYC Audubon monitor the beams, and whenever the count surpasses a threshold of 1,000 birds between both beams, or if birds are seen circling and calling low in the beams the lights are turned off to allow the birds to regain their bearings and fly away.
