OK I only shot two buildings. Last night there was a little pomp and

circumstance kicking off the nearly month long lighting of Five Buildings on Broad Street. (Originally I thought it was for the holidays, but I read somewhere the lights will be turned off on 12/2/07)

Life went on as normal for these dancers practicing for their next performance, but their building was taking on a different kind of exhibition as it

glowed in a flow of colors to the beat of Beethoven

and the din of the city streets

next it was on to The Ritz Carlton

which was lit more in the style of

City Hall a few years back (2005)

some of you may be wondering how they do this type of lighting: This building is lit with individual color lights that sit on the ledges along the building and shine up.

and this style of lighting

is controlled by this projector room across the street. (I was wondering what this box was when it was built about two weeks ago)

see the projection figures on the passing truck. It looks like two lit lines on the panel truck.
