RECAP of 8/1 - Illuminating the Plight of Endangered Species, at the Empire State Building!



























On Saturday, August 1, 2015 from 9PM to midnight, there was quite a view illuminated onto the Empire State Building.  Not your typical light show of flashing rainbow colors, but rather " 40 stacked, 20,000-lumen projectors on the roof of a building on West 31st Street".

A snow leopard, a golden lion tamarin and manta rays, along with snakes, birds and various mammals and sea creatures will be projected onto a space 375 feet tall and 186 feet wide covering 33 floors of the southern face of the Empire State Building — and beyond, thanks to cellphones and Internet connections." - According to the New York Times article reposted here.  


























Scroll below to see some of the photos I took from 23 Street by Madison Square Park.
