No low clouds today, just a really nice day in NYC. The Tower of LIght has been on for the last few days.
This year, the FDNY formed a procession across the Brooklyn Bridge to a cathedral in Prospect Heights, in honor of the 27 members from Brooklyn firehouses killed on 9-11. At the cathedral, the firemen were remembered at a memorial mass incorporating Mozart's Requiem, with full orchestra, chorus and soloists. Last time that piece was used as the setting for a mass was shortly after the Kennedy assassination, when Jackie asked for it to be done in Boston. Very fitting, very moving.
Excellent shot. A really good outcome on film, its nor so easy to do this exposure that well. Or your camera had a superb lightmeter. Or you bracketed like crazy.

A lovely photo, Ann. And a very sad one.
Beautiful & poignant.

Report that President Obama moved up the moment of silence. Impatient to get onto the links.
Regardless, it's a nice photograph. It looks majestic.

If you had not identified it, I would've thought that a long shot from a Ghostbusters movie. Long, strange fifteen years ...
If Trump gets elected, the terrorists will have won.
