From the desk of Mindles H. Dreck:The Twin Lights
I watched from Exchange Place, Jersey City, as the lights went up last night. I have a few pictures, including one framed by the fire engines parked at exchange place hoisting a flag between the raised ladders.
Due to my recent technology problems, I don't yet have photo-editing or FTP functionality, so I'll post the pictures later.
There were hundreds of people on the waterfront at Jersey City, which made attending the debut worthwhile. The event itself was anticlimactic - the lights went up, they tweaked the focus to define the columns and then there they were.
The surf was up a bit, so some of the folks at the railing trying to steady their cameras for night-time photography (like yours truly) had to dodge the spray.
