Tribute in Light

The Tribute in Light is a powerful memorial that appears annually to mark the anniversary of the September 11 attacks. It is not a permanent structure but a temporary installation that takes about ten days for a specialized crew to assemble and aim. You are looking at the site where eighty-eight high-powered xenon spotlights are carefully arranged into two forty-eight-foot squares. These beams reach four miles into the night sky, creating an ethereal projection that mimics the shape and location of the original Twin Towers.
